Logansport Pharos-Tribune from Logansport, Indiana • Page 5

Sunday, November 6, 1983 Pharos-Tribune, Logansport, Indiana Page .5 People Erma Bombeck Picture-Perfect i Family A Dream i i Some of you may possibly remember our Christmas card of 1978. One son is sitting on the sofa in a tie and sportcoat. He is not wearing shoes. Our daughter is looking straight into the camera with her eyes closed. Another son is hanging over my shoulder i with a temperature of 102.1 am between them i knotting my handkerchief.

With the exception of my daughter, all of our eyes are focused left i wondering if my husband is going to make it to the i sofa before the camera clicks. i i Only his nose and right hand are in the picture. It took three weeks of planning and four hours to get that picture. Are you listening, Ansel Adams? The older the kids get and the more independent they become, the more difficult it is to assemble the troops for a reunion. There are a lot of mothers who take pride in knowing all there is to know about their children.

I'm not one of them. I live in ignorance and I i wouldn't live in any other neighborhood. i I don't want to know or even hear how one of them got into the Guinness Book of Records by driving from Encino to Los Angeles airport in 23 minutes in a car with no brake fluid and no gas, and still had five minutes to make a phone call telling a friend he left his coffee maker plugged in. I don't want to know they borrowed the money to make the trip. Or that they traded working Christmas to be home because that's when the rest could make it.

I remember watching a television show a few years ago where Ed Asner and his family came home for Christmas. They were great. They huddled around the fire together and were actually all in the same room at the same time, talking to one another and laughing. Ours roll out of bed in different time zones and stagger around like newborn field mice: One eats 'weird. One doesn't eat at all.

One hangs onto the phone like a pacifier. One spends the entire time behind the bathroom door. One puts a hand on everything in the house individually and asks, "Do you want this?" At mealtime, it's like the debates at Hyde Park with chairs. "Do you want to have a family picture on our Christmas card this year?" asked my husband. "How do we get them here?" I asked.

"We could teii them we're reading the will." It might work.

It was selected for inclusion in "Children's Books to Own" published by the Detroit Public Library. The novel is still in print and has been published four times in German and as a paperback. The author's appearance here is part of the library's recognition of Jewelry Fashions. Facts. Fiction by Ed Fasnacht CERTIFIED G6MOLOGIST AMERICAN GEM SOCIETY THE MIRACLE THATIS DIAMOND A diamond is truly a miracle of nature.

It is the simplest of all minerals pure carbon. The only difference between diamond and charcoal is that diamond was formed under intense heat and pressure deep within the earth to create the tight atomic bonding that is characteristic of this hardest of all substances. In 1477 Archduke Maximilian of Austria bestowed a diamond ring upon Mary of Burgundy to seal their betrothal. Little did he know that he would launch a tradition. Today the diamond worn in an engagement, wedding or anniversary ring is the established symbol of the love behind the marriage union.

The diamond is also a symbol of prestige. It is universally admired for its unique brilliance and fire. It is extremely valuable because it goes through many skilled hands around the world before resting in our jewelry showcase. As a matter of fact, 240 tons of kimberlite rock must be processed to find a single one-carat diamond. We carry a selection of styles in various price ranges so that everyone can afford to own a fine diamond.

We are educated American Gem Society jewelers, so we can help you understand diamond quality. Let us help you share in the miracle. 325 E.
