A great day at the Ponderosa!

Hey everyone,

Today was an amazing day!

First, my sister annie came to visit me on her way to St. George. I sent her down the zip line and then we did a little hike in Zion, grabbed some lunch, and finished up the afternoon with ice cream. What would be better than that? She has a sun roof and we rolled down the windows and blasted music all while driving through beautiful Zion's.

Second, this week we had a guest check in and there was a misunderstanding with the cooking facilities. I ended up getting a hot plate and dishes for them to use. Well when he checked out he gave me a $10 tip and then wrote a comment card that said, "Stacey made a difference in our stay." I was quite pleased with myself. Not only that, but it happened when the general manager was there.

Third, I just made a $10,000 dollar reservation! The word got out and the general manager and some employees he dragged with him all came to the front desk and clapped for me. I even got a free candy bar out of it. My general manager seemed quite pleased and gave me the thumbs up. That means a lot coming from him. I think I deserve more than a .75 cent candy bar, but I'll take what I can get.

I'm feeling on cloud nine in concerns with my job.

It's American Idol night, don't forget to watch!

Love you all!

Love Stace
