A Puzzling Paragraph

This is an unusual paragraph. I'm curious how quickly you can find out what is so unusual about it. It looks so plain you would think nothing is wrong with it. In fact, nothing is wrong with it. It is unusual though. Study it, and think about it, but you still may not find anything odd. But if you work at it a bit, you might find out. Try to do so without any coaching.

(Answer: What is odd about it? The letter e, the most  common letter in the English language, never appears in the paragraph)

Hello Ladies,

Just a reminder that we will be having a Recipe Exchange
at our Holiday Installation Banquet. So please write down
your favorite holiday dessert recipe on a recipe card so we
can share your family's best. (P.S. If you don't have one
for a dessert, just bring in your favorite!)

Then at next month's meeting we can share how great
the food turned out!

ON THE MOVE

Life is ever changing and my life is changing drastically. My husband has decided to retire after the end of this school year in June 2006. We have purchased property at Lake Summerset which is about 20-30 miles north and west of Rockford and will be building a house in which to retire. We hope to be moving in June/July. In addition, in April, my husband and I will be accompanying the Silver Knights to Amsterdam in the quest to win the world baton corps championship.

So it is with much regret that I will not be joining GHJWC next year. I will miss all of you very much. The club was part of my life for the last 12+ years and will leave a void in my life. The good news is that the association where we will be living has a woman's club that I intend to look into.

Best wishes to all of you and keep up the good work!

Love,
Barb Kuminowski
