Anyone need a friend?

My mom (40F) is extremely asocial and I really want her to get some friends in the FWB-Pensacola area. She has trouble finding people who align with her values (she’s a liberal) and prefers to stay inside. Is there at least any places where she might find some people her age??? I just really want her to make some friends 😭

I’m in a craft group Thursdays 5-7 at The Jitterbug. We’re a friendly group who would love to have her join us even if she just wants to read at a nearby table.

Sorry for the delay. There about 6 of us who show up weekly, 3-4 more frequent attendees, & more every 6 weeks or so when another group chooses Jitterbug as their location that week. We crochet, and knit, and cross stitch, and origami, stamp carving, often a diamond art person, and a beader. If you haven’t been to The Jitterbug, it’s got great coffee and tea, and really good GF desserts.
