Merry Merry Cindy - Part 1

"Oh! you have to wait to meet Cindy, She is such an active personality, and always going places! She loves traveling and is so young at heart! I always wonder what will she do with sooo much energy in her!" my home-share representative, Ginny gave me an introduction of the lady I was supposed to share a house with. I was curious to meet this lady and got the chance on Friday, the 19th of March 2010. I entered a house full of .....full of life. A cheerful lady sat in the middle of the living room, welcome us all with smiles.

She showed us her condo and walked us through her lively rooms – One could make out her love for Mexico after looking at the entire wall-painting of a Mexican beach landscape and her comment on the coconut shell which she used as a bowl –“I can never get rid of this bowl, its very dear to me..” she said with a chuckle. It wasn’t possible for anybody to not notice her friendly and jovial nature. I decided in my mind that I can give it a try to live with her and wrote to my home-share that I am ready to move-in. That one little meeting was not enough to know Cindy completely, but surely enough to safely assume that she was tolerable to live with. Little did I know that I was about to live with such a dynamic personality.

So my third story is about Lucinda McCloud, my landlady, my inspiration who perfectly fits into the category of women who either change or adapt to a tedious situation, but never whine about it. Stay tuned for the next blog!
