New Friends

We've had an exciting couple of weeks. Lots of walks, explorations, activities, and new friends. My son made some great connections this past weekend. I took him to see the new Yugioh movie. There he met some kids who are also big fans of Yugioh and big card collectors. He ended up spending a few hours with them after the movie at a hobby shop nearby, dueling, which means challenging each other with their more powerful cards..lol. I watched for a bit. It was quite an experience for me! They were so engrossed and happy to be dueling. It was great to see him so involved and making new friends! He plans to meet with them regularly to duel and check out new cards.

He played for awhile while I explored the area. The place is in West Philadelphia, by University of Pennsylvania, so lots to see, eat, and do. There are great restaurants, bookstores, museums, theaters, and other places to explore. I think this will be a fun regular outing for both of us.

I've been exploring the city on my own also. I've attended some discussion groups, wine tastings, music, and dinner gatherings. The city has so many positive experiences to offer. My honey and I love to check out the comedy shows and try out new places to eat. We just tried a great breakfast spot nearby called Sabrina's....Yummo!! And the servings are huge! Love it!

My mom has been away for a couple of months visiting her brother and she's coming home today. I missed her lots! She will see my new place for the first time. She's also going to meet my honey for the first time. Now that she's home, I will probably be traveling more since I like to take impromptu weekend trips and she watches my son if needed. Depending on the destination, sometimes my son comes with. Looking forward to having that flexibility again.
