From Carolyn to Jennifer - all the pangrams

 

Flowers for Jennifer from Carolyn.

I have no idea if anyone is interested in all of the pangrams that were submitted - but decided to run them. The fonts came through in a hodgepodge - and I apologize for not taking the time to fix them. I still like mine the best because it starts with minimum - which I think is a good word to use for warm up. I also like that the sentiment is appropriate to the activity of practicing and I like that all of the words are pretty normal words.

Someday - I might find a better word than lazy. That one seems like it was just stuck in there to use a z. If anyone wants to offer an edit with a good z-word - please do. But, please do not submit the word zeal. I don't care for that word. Have we ever talked about words that we like or dislike? Is there a name for that?
