Once again ActiveRainers stepped up to the task of a challenge and had A LOT of fun in the process!  ActiveRainers imagination ran wild with their point store entries! Personally, I found myself smiling and chuckling while reading each post!  I wish I could link them all to this post but yikes - that would be a lot of posts. We had 58 entries for the July Challenge!  Read Entries Here!

Co-Hosts Anna Banana, Carol Williams and Kathy Streib

 

A big shout out to all the Members that offered up fantastic trips, cheap gas and more.   Carol Williams Golfing at Pebble Beach, Kathy Streib Make Your Open House Stand Out, Endre Barath, Jr. Dinner in Paris, Kat Palmiotti Montana Secluded Ranch Vacation, Kathleen Daniels, Probate & Trust Specialist Mr Crappy Cheap Gas. Debe Maxwell, CRS North Carolina Lake Vacation and Wanda Kubat-Nerdin - Wanda Can! Silobration Experience in Utah.

 

The ActiveRain Point Store is now closed.  Keep your eyes open as the Point Store will open again in the future and we've got lots of new and amazing offerings!  And I'm quite certain more goodies will be added!

 

Thanks to all of you for your comments, creative entries and your awesome IMAGINATIONS!  Until next time - keep on enjoying your summer!

 

   Happy Travels from the Banana Jet Set Crew!

Such a fun challenge and it was nice to read about why certain people would choose certain things from the fake point store, haha.

It was totally fun Brian England.  You and Wayne Martin sure enjoyed your adult libations!

Thank you for my first introduction to the point store.  I had heard rumors, but to experience it for myself was a real blast.  I do wish I had put together the second entry for the challenge.  I am a man in transition right now so I wouldn't have been around for an Elk Grove adventure and don't know Goodyear well enough yet.  You could have bet great food would have been on the agenda, probably right after a pickleball lesson.  😃  I appreciate the light hearted challenge, Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker.  Now, back to playing Truth or Dare!

Hi Ray Henson glad you had a chance to experience the fun of the Fake Point Store!  We stepped it up quite a few notches on this one.  Next one will blow your socks off!

Good morning, Anna... this was a fun challenge even if it took me 31 days to enter! Are 58 entries above average for one of our challenges?

Aug 03, 2022 05:34 AM
Anna "Banana" Kruchten

It's only a number Nina Hollander, Broker .  The fun part is you entered and it was so fun reading yours!  I had no idea you had lived in Paris.  As for entries - I have no idea what's normal.

I am sure I have missed a few, which I will catch up soon. It was fun reading about stories and imaginations people shared.

Everyone on your team has done an excellent job encouraging, responding, and commenting on all posts. The best part was that you all shared your stories, making us feel like one big fun-loving family! 

I look forward to the next imaginary challenge!

Dang!  Looks like I missed the (banana) boat on this one Miss Anna Banana Kruchten CRS, Phoenix Broker .  What fun we could have had shopping and stopping for a quick bite at the Banana Split Store.  I'll have to pay closer attention next time.  Hope you are doing well :)  And staying COOL!

Hey Miss Belinda Spillman it is so nice to see you in the rain!!  It's been awhile! And we can still have lots of fun on the Banana Golf Cart next time  you are in town!  Doing well and we had an awesome monsoon storm last night - cooled things way down.  Lovely day today!

Not late at all Kathy Streib !!  You've had a lot on your mind.  I meant to ask you how is your brother doing?  Hope all is going well for him.  And....I'm not really the 'proprietor' of the store....just took it over when nobody else had opened it for several years or more.  It was fun and WAY imaginative this time!  Thank you for all your help.  I so appreciate YOU!!
