We drive past this Antique/Used Furnature store almost every single day. Leaning against the fence in the side lot is a large plaster garden statue. Well, it happens to be a Greek statue of a nude woman. Who knows how they came about seeing it that very first time but…THEY DID!. Ever since, whenever we go by,  someone…sometimes even me will yell “Naked Lady Alert”! and we all look over and giggle…Little boys, so much fun. In the interest of expanding their horizons to new experiences,  I figured instead of driving by, we had to make enough time to stop. The isles are crowded, the store is full to bursting its seams. It claims to be an “antique” store but most of the items I saw could be found at a local estate sale so I felt comfortable taking the boys in.  There are even items stored out front on the sidewalk and in a  backyard of sorts. It was an adventure. I’ve been in the store by  myself, but it’s always different seeing it through the eyes of your kids. We meandered for a while before making it to….The Naked Lady… When we did there was a few hands over their eyes and nervous furtive glances. I don’t think a one of them actually took a good look at it. I’m sure I’ll regret sending them down this road one day. But for now…for today it was fun.
