Delray Beach- ActiveRain MeetUps and The Heat is Still On!!!

It’s been a busy week with two MeetUps to attend, work and trying to stay inside the air-conditioning as much as possible. With the humidity, it feels like 99 degrees out at 8 pm. There was hardly anyone out when we took our morning walk at the beach. With no breeze and the high temps, it was stifling.

The tenant in my guest house felt it was cooler out on the porch. We opted for ice cream.

A real conversation always contains an invitation. You are inviting another person to reveal herself or himself to you, to tell you who they are or what they want.   David Whyte

I’d never seen anything like this- the shadow that this palm tree cast on the sidewalk. That's Larry, still in his cast.

 

 

Ideal conversation must be an exchange of thought, and not, as many of those who worry most about their shortcomings believe, an eloquent exhibition of wit or oratory. Emily Post

If you haven’t attended a MeetUp in your area...there’s still time!  And if you can’t have a MeetUp in person, pick up the phone and have a conversation with a member here.  You’d be surprised how easy it is to do.

 

Don't knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn't start a conversation if it didn't change once in a while. Kin Hubbard

Have a weekend full of good conversation!

Hi Kevin J. May surreal can be good!

Nina Hollander We opted to sit at a table along the sidewalk and had to eat quickly lest we had a puddle of ice cream! LOL

And I guess the heat can affect how we feel, can't it?

My wonderful wife clicked off the AC as she went out the door. I guess she forgot I was still here.

Hi Kathy -- you highlight some interesting points with your collection of "conversation" quotes and food for thought.  Hmm...quite satisfying...

This is a pretty tasty post, with beautiful photos to enjoy (love them all but the pal tree shadows are really cool), inspiring quotes and talk of ice cream (great in the summer but I love it all year!!).  I love our summer weather as I expect you do yours, except perhaps for the humidity. I sure don't miss that from living in New England.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend!

I'm glad you made it to the meet-ups, Kathy.  And, this heat hitting right now is dreadful.  We had 8 consecutive days of 100 degrees or better.

I always enjoy your pictures.

CONGRATULATIONS on having this blog FEATURED in the PHOTOS group!

Hi Kathy - This has been quite the summer for high temperatures. We normally see some days in the 90's but lately, that's all we've been getting. At least we don't have the humidity, but it's still hot and I'm starting to look forward to the snow.

I thought it was hot here. I worked in the yard for 2 hours and had to take 3 breaks then a shower. It was only in the 80's.
