A Great Meetup with Anna Banana in Indana!

( Well, Sort of).

To our surprise, we were able to meetup with Gary Banana, while he was on a busness trip in South Bend, Indiana. Since Anna was included in much of the conversation, it was as if she was there to share a pleasant evening at the Studebaker Mansion, Tippecanoe Place, a well known restaurant and former home of the Studebakers.

Maybe next time Anna Banana Kruchten can tag along. I'm sure we can keep her occupied while (as Dick Greenberg says) "Second Banana" takes care of his business here.

That looks much more enjoyable than my evening with a dozen in-laws and studying homework with the kids!

Good morning Larry. At least you had the chance to meet half of Anna. Hopefully next time you'll get the whole package.

That is wonderful you met Gary. The spouses are also part of the Rain because they support us. That restaurant sounds like a destination I would like to visit.

How fun for you guys. There is no one quite like the Queen Banana herself Anna Banana Kruchten but Gary is very special too. I love both of them to pieces and only wish we all lived closer.

Well, that is just super cool. How wonderful that a spouse can feel so comfortable with an AR pal. Next time, Anna will join you.

How nice was that, Larry! A meetup is a meetup regardless of who attends... sort of like a "rose by any other name..."

So there really is someone named Anna Banana? All this time, I thought she was just a figure of speech. I did not know someone with that name actually exists.

Larry, I really like the nickname of second banana and while she was not there in person she was present in spirit.
