The Nude Life

If all goes to plan, we will arrive at our new home in Florida a week from today, and then take up The Nude Life full-time at long, long last. Between then and now, we have an increasingly daunting list of tasks to complete, not the least of which is closing on the sale of our house here in Texas and then driving with our cat some 1,100 miles to Central Florida in our sub-compact economy car.

It has been a three-month-long effort to scale down our belongings and ties to the home we have lived in for 18 years in North Texas. About three-quarters of everything we owned in the way of furniture, clothes, books, appliances and other detritus has been given away to friends and charities. When the moving truck shows up on Monday morning to cart away the balance of our material possessions, it will amount to what is typical for a two-bedroom apartment and not the 3,800-sq.-ft. single-family home it was when this process began.

To say we are excited about the big move finally happening would be an understatement, but there is also a fair amount of dread in the mix, as we have a hellacious amount of “stuff” to do in the next seven days before we can finally shed our clothes, open our first cold beer at our new home, and head down to the pool for an afternoon’s relaxation in the nude for the first time as residents of our new community.

With all that happening over the next seven days, don’t expect any blog posts until we have arrived in Florida and the cable guy arrives to hook up our TV and Internet at the house and we’re back online for good from our new home. Wish us luck if you have a mind to, and we’ll be back in touch from Central Florida by this time next week!

I am back for a few days at our new home in America’s most beautiful nudist resort, checking on our new house and getting a few small projects done before our eventual move here later in July.

The return to the freedom and pleasure of full-time nudity around the house and throughout the resort is an almost guilty indulgence. While others outside our world of a residential nudist resort community must go about their daily business fully clothed, and without the exquisite luxury of not ever needing to think about what to wear, when, I have the freedom to attend to the day’s chores and projects in the most comfortable way possible.

During my four days here, I’ll spend about six hours clothed outside the park, setting up some things for our change in residency and buying some furnishings. Aside from that, and the short duration of a furniture delivery here tomorrow, I can be free and nude at all times as I settle into the incredible realization that The Nude Life is indeed becoming a reality for my wife and I.

That means that the ordinary and the routine become new and delightful adventures when performed nude in this garden paradise. Just today, all of these mundane things were done by me nude for the first time, much to my delight and unending amazement:

• Leaf-blowing and vacuuming the front drive, steps and back deck with an electric leaf vac
• Cooling off with an outdoor shower after the above, so as not to return inside with my sweaty, leaf debris-speckled body
• Installing a safety tail light on my bike
• Going around the inside and outside of the house finding out where all of the keys that were left us by the original owner fit and opened
• Consulting with a carpenter and getting a quote for remodeling work on the new house
• Doing the paperwork needed to get a Florida driver license and transfer the title for our house

Add to that the delectable delight of simply waking in the morning nude and covered in the sunshine of a summer morning in Florida, knowing that there is no need to dress for nearly the whole day; the fun of enjoying breakfast, lunch and dinner nude at the restaurants and bars in the resort, and of course relaxing poolside for a late-afternoon cool-down and swim, and the pleasure of not needing to draw the shades at night when relaxing nude in the house. Life is so much simpler, less complicated and infinitely more comfortable in this nudist community. Each day is a vacation. Each hour is a release from the rest of the world. Each moment is a moment to cherish and savor.

There are countless other impeccably delightful and marvelous experiences awaiting us in The Nude Life we have chosen for the next phase of our lives. Each one will bring a smile to our face and build upon the incredible joy that nudism has brought to us and others who have discovered this fabulous way of life. But even during these initial days at our new home, there are many, many things about The Nude Life that I won’t have any trouble getting used to…nude.
