The Nude Life

April “officially” marks the beginning of “nude season” here at our house. It’s the time of year that the weather has finally gotten mild enough that we can reliably and comfortably go clothes-free through early October.

The clothes came off and stayed off for most of the past weekend, except for our ventures out of the house to run errands and play some nude whirlyball over the weekend with our nudist club friends. All of them are looking forward to the warm weather we enjoy so much all summer long here in Texas, as are we. It’s just downright frustrating to have to spend so many days indoors, fully clothed, from November through March when the weather is mostly too chilly, too cloudy or otherwise inhospitable to our nude enjoyment.

This will likely be our first full week at home working nude all day, and of course staying nude through the evening, nights and weekends, with the windows open and the mild breezes refreshing the air in the house. These six weeks or so of warm but mild weather are delightful, as we can be nude all day and night indoors or out, without the need for air-conditioning during the day or heat overnight.

After quitting work-time at 5:00 PM each day, we usually retire to the backyard pool area for a beer or two and some reading, listening to music or a card game or two, before starting dinner. Not having to bother with changing in or out of clothes during the day and night to be perfectly comfortable is a delight — certainly one of the chief delights of working from home.

So, with the arrival of April 1, the laundry load goes down, the electric and gas bill goes down, our comfort level and well-being go up, and even the day at work is infinitely more tolerable now that “nude season” is here.

How are you enjoying the arrival of Spring where you are? Share and discuss with other nudists from around the world in The Nude Life Forum!

Our dearth of postings over the past few weeks can be explained by a goodly amount of business travel that has kept us away from the blog, but mainly it’s been that we have been very, very busy making all the arrangements to make our move to Cypress Cove near Orlando in a couple of months to start the nude life full-time.

We’ve been getting a real education in Florida’s homeowner’s insurance market (which was ruined by state meddling); in the Florida mortgage lending meltdown as the housing bubble bursts there and elsewhere; and in a couple of dozen other things we’ve had to arrange to make things happen for our new life as full-time nudists living at Cypress Cove.

I’m happy to report that everything is on track, and we have figured out a neat way around the mortgage mess as well as landing some reasonable insurance coverage. We anticipate closing in mid-May, and moving there from our home in Texas soon after, hopefully by June or July.

Now all we have to do in the meantime is quit our jobs, sell our house here, give away or sell 90% of everything inside it, and move. Figuring out what we can fit from our 3,800-sq.ft house into a single 8′ x 8′ x 16′ PODS moving unit is going to be interesting, too!

We know it will be worth it. Our nudist friends here who have asked about our plans are envious of us already, and we can’t help getting excited by the adventure, fun and freedom that will accompany this life-changing shift in location and lifestyle. Breaking the news to our few remaining relatives and friends (all of whom have no idea at all that we are nudists!) will come when it has to: never, if they don’t want to come visit us (which most won’t), and honestly and without shame for those who do.

I’m very glad to have had our guest bloggers Steve and Angie posting some new items during my slowdown in posts, and I hope they have a great time at Haulover Beach this coming week. Let’s hope they post some reports from their visit and perhaps a few vacation snaps as well!

Meanwhile, The Nude Life Forum still has regular visits and posts from nudists all over the world. If you haven’t checked in lately, by all means drop in again soon and let us know what’s on your mind! And, happy Spring Equinox to all those in the Northern Hemisphere! Summer will be here soon!

Thank God for the alert action by Wisconsin’s Finest in protecting us from ourselves! Risking life and limb (not to mention risking looking like total fools) the cops nabbed a dangerous criminal right in the act.

Totally sober, on a bet with his Dad, a teenage boy criminal ran across the lake behind their house, get ready for this, sit down, TOTALLY NAKED!!!

Can you believe it? Right here in Amerika! I’m shocked! What is this country coming to? Where is the death penalty when you need it?

The next thing you know, women will be exposing their ankles at the beach! This must be stopped right here and right now!

What this country needs is more sex and violence on TV, more wars, higher taxes on working people, and less health care for those sick people who are cluttering up our hospitals and clinics! Certainly not naked boys on deserted lakes in a desolate area of Wisconsin!

Let’s get our priorities straight and smash these disgusting folks that think there’s nothing wrong with a little harmless nudity! That’s where I want to see my law enforcement dollars going!

What if there was a beach used exclusively by blind nudists?

In the minds of many, it’s not the fact of nudity that is so shameful, it’s being seen naked that is bad. It’s the sight of the body that God gave us that leads to sin and debauchery.

So, what if everyone’s blind? Would that be OK?

I mean, if seeing the ‘naughty’ parts leads people astray, then not seeing them should be pretty safe, it seems.

I’ll have to run that one past Rev. Ralph if I ever run into him. Nah, he’d just say that even feeling good is evil. I saw a bumper sticker that said: “I like your Christ. I don’t like your Christians. They are so not like your Christ”. The wackos have given good people a bad name. That’s wrong.

This guy is the epitome of that idea. Pure hatred. Sad that good folks should have to be associated with this disgusting vermin.

And that’s the gist of it, isn’t it? We just have too darn much fun running around nekked and they can’t stand it. There must be something sinful behind it because they know that if they tried it they’d instantly be turned into lustful fornicators and have to roast in Hell forever.

OK, that’s not fair. Most people just think we’re weird, maybe a bit twisted, and they have no interest to try. That’s all right, I feel the same way about Republicans.

I’m not a Christian, but I do ask “what would Jesus do?” Because, to me, Jesus represents the best of human behavior, and a good example to follow.. To use His name to attack the innocents, in this situation, us, disgusts me.

Guess I kinda got off an a rant there, huh?

Would love to hear from blind persons, get their perspective on this. I mean, for them porn is sound and not image, skin color doesn’t exist but voice does. Nudity would be a totally sensory experience, Probably more so than for the sighted. Yet I have yet to meet a blind nudist.

That’s it.

Woo woo!  We’re going to Haulover Beach!  If everything works well we’ll be there the 26th thru 28th of March, a long needed respite from this goddamn frozen hellhole of Wisconsin.  Pardon the language but this has been one awful winter.

Thanks to Angie’s new airline job, we get lots of free air travel and are damned intending to use it!   First stop, Miami Beach! 

Got a hotel 125 yards down the beach from Haulover, plan to get decently sunburned.  If we don’t, it’s our own fault.  Like I told Angie, we don’t have much money but we can go where the rich folk do!

We’ve gotten so sick and tired of winter that we were ready to move South

 to escape it.  That means leaving family and grandkids behind, not so good.  With her new job, and occasional escapes to places warmer perhaps we can hold on a few years longer.  We’ll see.

We still long to move to a nudist community where we can be us most of the time.

Like I said, we’ll see.   Ah, for a perfect world…

P.S. - To our Northern friends, we won’t be there long enough to send postcards, but we’ll be thinking of you!  Ah, actually, probably not .  Sorry about that…  ;-)
