About Better With Friends - Conversations with Andrea and Lorilee
From the publisher's feed
Having spent several years in their 20s getting the same degree and taking the same classes at the University of Manitoba, Andrea and Lorilee never got to know each other. Meeting again almost 25…
years later, they soon realized they have a lot in common and became fast friends! Listen in as Andrea and Lorilee discuss their lives in midlife - from parenting to pop culture, work lives to social lives - and everything in between!
