Vanessa pulled into the driveway and stepped out. She took a deep breath, wondering what kind of conversation she might end up having with her mother. She entered the house and closed the front door behind her, "Mom, I'm home," she called out.
"I'm in the kitchen," came the reply.
Vanessa stepped into the kitchen and watched as her mom turned around and faced her, "Mom, you're naked," she cried out. She looked at her mother's figure from head to toe and back again. She ended looking at her mom's face with a smile.
"Well, it was your idea," Nancy replied.
Vanessa smiled, "you really did it. I proud of you mom."
Nancy watched as her daughter quickly removed her clothes, folded them, and set them on the chair next to her. She still had butterflies in her stomach but they were beginning to lessen.
"There, now you're not the only one naked," Vanessa said. "You're beautiful, mom. You have nothing to be ashamed of."
"Thank you," Nancy said very quietly.
"Though, I think you could probably use a little bit of a trim," Vanessa said as she ran her fingers through her own pubic hair. "Let me know if you need some help," she offered.
Nancy looked down and looked at the wildness of her bush and looked at Vanessa's. She agreed that it could use a little work. She remembered a time when her husband took on the responsibility of keeping it neat. It usually led to an oral inspection followed by a session in bed.
"So, mom, how does it feel?" Vanessa asked anxiously.
"It feels kind of nice, actually. It's been a long time."
"You've done this before?"
"Well, not in public, but your father and I would often stay nude on weekends when we weren't planning on going anywhere." She looked at her daughter who had a questioning look on her face. "This was before you were born and I was a lot younger looking."
"Oh, mom," Vanessa said as she stepped up to her mother and hugged her.
Nancy was hesitant at first, her skin making contact with another woman's skin, but quickly embraced her daughter and smiled.

"So," Nancy said, poking at the lettuce in front of her then looking up at Carol, "I didn't put anything on until this morning to come to work."
Carol raised her eyebrows, "and?"
Nancy looked at her, "and what?"
"Did you like it?"
With a shy look on her face, Nancy looked at Carol, "it was okay," she said in a semi-positive tone of voice.
Carol beamed, she was proud of her friend for stretching her comfort zone, "it feels nice, doesn't it?"
Nancy nodded her head, "it was just me at first and it took a while but it felt natural after a while. And then Vanessa called and said she was on her way home."
"Obviously you stayed naked," Carol observed.
"I wasn't going to. When I hung up I went to the bedroom to start getting dressed. I put on some panties and opened the closet door and saw myself in the mirror. All of a sudden, the panties felt, I don't know, confining. So," Nancy said with a wave of her fork, "I took 'em off and went back to the kitchen."
Carol put her hand on top of Nancy's, "good for you, I'm proud of you."
"Needless to say, it wasn't quite what Vanessa expected."
"I'm sure. But I'm guessing she was very happy," Carol said.
"Well, she stripped right there in front of me and gave me a hug," Nancy said with a hint of a smile and looking at Carol over the top of her reading glasses.
"Aww, that's sweet," Carol said.
"It was strange at first."
"What's that?" Carol asked.
"Well, I've Vanessa and I have hugged before, but this time," Nancy said and left the thought unfinished.
"You were both naked and your tits were rubbing up against her," Carol finished for her.
"Carol!" Nancy tried to rebuke Carol, but couldn't. There was no way that she was going to admit to Carol that her nipples stiffened with the hug.
"Well, now the next step is to get you to see the wonderful piece of land you own," Carol stated as a command versus a suggestion.
Nancy looked and started to slowly shake her head. Carol just smiled.

Nancy, Carol and Troy were sitting around the conference in the real estate office. Troy had arranged a number of photos of the cabins in front of Nancy.
"So," Nancy said as she put her elbow on the table and rested her chin in her hand, "you really think it's worth redoing the interiors?"
"Well, as I said," Troy started to answer as he shuffled the pictures, "as you can see from these pictures," pointing to one group, "versus these pictures," pointing to another group, "not all of the cabins would need the same work."
Nancy looked at the pictures, picking up some of them and looking at them closely. Troy and Carol watched as Nancy compared pictures from the interiors of two of the cabins.
"I see what you're saying," Nancy said nodding her head, still looking at the pictures. She showed one to Troy, "this looks like it came from the 70's."
Troy laughed, "yeah, Avocado kinda went out of style a coupla years back."
"I wonder why Gerry didn't do anything about them."
"Well, I asked him and he said no one really complained and he didn't have the resources even if they did."
Nancy looked a Troy with a little bit of a frown, "why, I wonder didn't he tell me?" she asked rhetorically.
Troy looked at Nancy, shrugged his shoulders to say he didn't know either.
"What about the bedrooms and baths?" Nancy asked as she shuffled through the photos, "I don't see any photos of those."
