I thought it was a good answer!!<\/p><\/div>\n

Off to the dreaded gym, where I assumed a position on the upright bike and peddled for 345 minutes, attaining a maximum speed of 0.004 miles per hour.\u00a0 I looked much like a whirling dervish!!<\/p>\n

Whirling Dervishes, also known as the Mevlevi Order, are a Sufi mystical sect founded by the poet Mevl\u00e2na Celaleddin Rumi. They are renowned for their “sema” ceremony, a form of worship that involves whirling, accompanied by music, to achieve a state of spiritual ecstasy and connection with the divine.\u00a0 The practice is more than just a dance; it’s a form of active meditation and a spiritual art.<\/div>\n

The smoke from the burning brakes finally cleared out.<\/p><\/div>\n

On the way to the car, we decided to stay home as the temperature was supposed to be 86 degrees, and walking around the fair on the blacktop would be arduous at best!\u00a0 Our plans changed by having Robon join us in August; the three Musketeers ride again!<\/p>\n

The OC Fair 2025 theme is “Find Your Happy”\u00a0according to the OC Fair website<\/a>.\u00a0 The fair will run from July 18 to August 17.<\/p>\n

We returned home to clean the house before the house cleaners came to visit.\u00a0 During this time, I watered the new grout so it would cure properly.\u00a0 Grout curing time typically ranges from 24 to 72 hours, but can vary based on several factors, including the type of grout, humidity, temperature, and the thickness of the grout lines.<\/p>\n

Around 1:45 pm, we departed for the Crystal Court at the South Coast Plaza!\u00a0 Mary wanted some new swimsuits and we went to “Everything But Water”.\u00a0 She bought two new suits, but as she was modeling them for me, I suddenly got hot flashes, began sweating profusely, and my heart went “pitty-pat”!!<\/p>\n

Eight million feet of shopping delights.<\/p><\/div>\n

Did You Know?\u00a0 <\/b>Not only is South Coast Plaza one of the most luxurious shopping destinations in the United States, with 250 retailers covering\u00a0128 acres<\/b>, it’s also one of the largest shopping spaces in America.\u00a0 The Segerstrom family privately owns it!<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

After my old heart settled down, we came home via Aces Bar & Grill and had a small dinner.\u00a0 Mary had a steak salad, while I had some stuffed jalape\u00f1os and buffalo wings.<\/p>\n

\"\"

The remains of a ounce proud plate of buffalo wings!<\/p><\/div>\n

We texted Jeff the selection of tacos Aces offered, and we brought him his selection for dinner.<\/p>\n

Before sunset, we were in the pool “splishing and splashing”.\u00a0 Bobby Darin would have been proud of us!!<\/p>\n

By 9:00 am, we were in bed and wandering off into dreamland.<\/p>\n
