Greetings Bloggers!
This is the elusive "newest-but-the-only-other-member" reporting to you, having finally overcome my technical difficulties, and my stubborn urge to wait and see what schemes Will would come up with next to get me to write, only to prove that he didn't make me up. After comparing me to shy Santa Claus (who I don't think is shy, by the way; I think he wants to hog all the cookies and milk, and avoid sharing them with doe-eyed, toy-hungry children. C'mon! Just look how fat he is!) next he'll be tying a chocolate bar to a string for me to greedily follow to a room with my lap top in it, only to lock me in the room until I finally crack and write a blog. (Will, you can still give me a chocolate bar...)

This is my (and my 14 year-old Mac lap tops) first experience at blogging, so any typos, grammatical errors or absurd comments can be blamed on "technical difficulties". There, I'm sufficiently covered.

For those of you who don't know me, my name is Ana "Bee" Fretz, former Grebel wanna-be (a.k.a associate, chapel choir member, Godspell cast member, commie supper server, Dorm room loiterer) for you Grebel bloggers. I am also a musician, cookie-fiend, Social Development Studies major (will only have taken me 6 years to finish!) and (to fit the theme of this website) a Swiss Mennonite. For any other Menno connections, I was a counsellor at Fraser Lake camp for 4 years, played at Menno Folk for a few years, did MCC placements in Saskatchewan and Uganda...as well as usual attendence and face-stuffing at the Relief Sales (both at Black Creek and New Hamburg). Okay, enough intro. I'm sure more about me will come out over time (yes, that does indicate a commitment, Will)

I look forward to sharing thoughts, concerns, questions and hearing your responses (as well as any embarrassing stories about Will...wink wink, nudge nudge)

Until next time, Happy Tree-Slicing (oh wait, that's "Logging")....Happy Cookie-Hoarding (no, that's "Hogging")......Happy Early-Morning-Running (Nuh uh, "Jogging").....hmmm, Oh! Happy Blogging!
