Walt Disney, My Sister Cindy, And One Lucky Squirrel




My sister Cindy was born on Walt Disney's birthday. I'm not sure if that's why she is fascinated with all things Disney, but let me tell you she is a FAN.

Yeah...right...who isn't you say? Well, just listen to her story. 
About 4 years ago, on the way home from yet another Disney World vacation, Cindy talked her husband and three college-age children into moving to Orlando Florida. Yep. She did.


So they went home and sold their house here in Texas and moved lock, stock and barrel to be near Disney World. The kids all got part-time jobs at Disney World and life settled down.

Cindy bought a year-round, premium pass and was in heaven -- Disney heaven that is. She went to Disney World a lot.
Until all the family members got tired of going to play at Disney World on every day off.  Cindy would beg and plead, whine and cry...but no one wanted to go with her any more. What's a girl...a 50-something-year-old girl...to do?
Well, Cindy pulled up her big girl pants last year and went and knocked on Disney's door. Turned in an application and got hired! She's now a Monorail Pilot and loves it. People, this proves it's never too late to follow your dreams! Or, as the song says,    Dreams Really Do Come True...


Correction! 

Previously I thought the video Cindy sent me was of her, but she was just sending me an old video of another driver's action. Sorry for my confusion and my error linking the story. 

I corrected the last paragraph below to correct the story.

Recently my sister Cindy sent me a link to an old video of another Monorail Pilot, also named Cindy, who slowed her monorail down to a crawl to keep from hurting a squirrel. 

If you watch til the end, you will see the poor little squirrel fling itself down panting from his ordeal.

Here's a link to the incident of the squirrel holding up the other Cindy's monorail. 




Thanks for dropping by!


P.S.  I was born on Einstein's birthday, but I can't do math at all so I don't think they'll let me become a mathematician any time soon!
