Congratulations are in order. Shannon has scored a job as a waitress at Hard Rock Amsterdam.

My mom and sister spent the past weekend in Paris, while my dad continued to scour the streets for treasure (read: garbage). His finds to date include, an orange leather couch, a few chairs, a collection of wooden frames, a small wooden cabinet, and a tram driver's button-up shirt unopened in a plastic case. He was especially pleased with the shirt. :)
