Our plan to go see Samantha and Jake was delayed by the Blizzard of Oz of February 21st. While it completely shut down airline travel for a couple for days, our reward was its beautiful aftermath.
When we got to California two days later, we not only got to see Samantha and Jake, we also got to see Beth and meet her sister, Laura, who was visiting from Utah. (Sorry, no photos.)
We had all kinds of fun. During a short shopping expedition, startled store customers were treated to Helen's impromptu demonstration of her 50 years of Hula Hoop experience. Bravo, Helen.
Samantha and I smiled all the way through the estimated 1100 calories of our "real deal" malts ...
from the Palo Alto Creamery Fountain & Grill. The bakery is fabulous but the soda fountain is a masterpiece. Instead of numbers, the clock has big red letters that read EAT AND GET OUT. I absolutely love this place.
The day before our return flight, The Blizzard of Oz II swept into Kansas delaying our return trip by a couple of days. Lucky for us, that allowed us to hang out even longer with Samantha and Jake. No, it wasn't always this exciting ...
but did include a trip to San Francisco to see Jake's new Zillabyte offices at 188 King Street. Located on the Penthouse level, Zillabyte even has a giant balcony with a nice view of the city.
Mega thanks to Samantha and Jake for being such great hosts.

I LOVED seeing you guys when you came to SUNNY and WARM San Francisco.
Love the photos...so that's where Jake is working, huh? ha ha ha
It was an absolute joy to meet you. It was obvious to me why Sam is such a remarkable and lovely young woman; she comes from quality parents. Thank you, too, for treating me to brunch. That was an unexpected and pleasant surprise, for which I am grateful. I hope there will be other times our paths will cross, and thank you for your generosity.
