Dee-lightful
by Tommy Stewart
This past weekend I got to meet (to quote Nancy French) THE Dee Andrews.
I told Dee that she was better than her blog persona. That persona is one that we all love but it is in her words, “professionalâ€. So in her home with her and Tom (who is extremely likeable) I had the privilege to see Dee without the layers of cyberspace. To be fair we have e-mailed and talked on the phone, so many of those layers were already removed. But it is always good to be present with someone.
She was smiling and waving out the kitchen window as we arrived and as funny and perky and lively as you would expect. She drives her scooter as dangerously as you have heard. And yes I have seen THE Windvane. I forgot to take a picture. UHHHH.
Dee is more than deserving of a post here. I know for me she has always been a source of encouragement. I see her encouraging others around the world with her comments. She’s our Barnabas.
This past weekend Dee blessed me more than she could know. It’s a funny thing, every time you go to try and be a blessing, you get blessed.
It’s a weekend I won’t forget.

Sounds like a wonderful weekend. You were one-upping each other in the blessing department. I will attest that Dee has been a great encourager to me!!Danny Sims said,

Oh, I’m jealous that you got to meet THE Dee that we all know and love. Yes, “Barnabus” is a good description of Dee.PatrickMead said,

Sadly, I was unable to meet with her last week when I was in Louisiana. I hope that my son will meet her and/or Tom when he is down next week to work on Katrina relief in Picayune. God bless you, Dee.
