Wow! This is Going to be Fun

Hi!
I am excited about this new spot. DaNae you made it look really cute! We just got through with Stake Conference. We had a visiting authority -- Brother Calister. The message was inspiring.

The Loertschers came to have waffles with us and Grandma Robertson. We looked for Lyle at conference and we couldn't find him or he could have had whole what waffles too.

I'm excited about being on here and keeping in touch with everyone. The Robertson reunion is coming up in July. Do we need help!! How would everyone like to have our reunion starting on Thursday P.M. and Friday. The rest of the group we'll invite up for one day -- on Saturday. Should be fun. We can get in lots of trouble before they get there to add to the confusion.

We have to go home teaching -- so enjoy this story that came from my friend Marie Groberg.

I thought you would get a kick out of a very cute story!
This is a true story. Dr KC Tubbs is the Dr and he later joined the church. When he told us this story over a staff lunch, I thought that>we would die laughing. Dr Armstrong is from Manti and comes up about once a week to work in the clinic.

By: Robert Armstrong, M.D.
I work part-time as a teacher of family doctors. The program provides training on psychiatric disorders and emphasizes the importance of emotional support. The new doctors are given plenty of time in clinic to visit with their> patients and learn about their challenges. One of our interns who has never lived in Utah and knew nothing about Mormons is still struggling to understand the cultural climate here.
Last week he was interviewing a new patient and stumbled on what he thought was a raging psychosis.
Doctor: "Well, Mrs. Olsen, we've talked about your high blood pressure and your medications. Are you experiencing any particular stress in your life?"
Patient: "Oh, yes! It's the Sunbeams. They're driving me crazy."
Doctor: (very surprised) "The Sunbeams?"
Patient: "Yes, I've never had trouble with them before, but this group won't sit still. They bounce all over the room, and run out the door and up and down the hallway.
Doctor: (reaching for a pen) "Have you told anyone about this?
Patient: "Of course, I told the president."
Doctor: "Really! And, what did the president tell you?"
Patient: "She said Sunbeams are like that. I'm just going to have to learn to deal with them." Doctor: (concerned that he may be missing something) "I know people who are sensitive to sunbeams. Do they cause you a rash or anything?"
Patient: (confused) "A rash? No."
Doctor: "What's the biggest problem they're creating?"
Patient: "It's the noise. They just won't quit talking."
Doctor: (astonished) "The sunbeams are talking to you?"
Patient: "Well, yes. But mostly they talk to each other."
Doctor: (scribbling furiously in the chart) "I see. Can anyone else hear them talking?"
Patient: (after a moment of stunned silence) "You're not LDS, are you?"

I do not post very often because my spelling is not very good and my punctuation is worse so if I have one long paragraph you will understand. As you probably now that I was layed off from work at the end of Jan. the company layed off about one third of all employees. I thought a job would be hard to find in this economy so I applied for unemployment, medicare and social security. Lets you know you are getting older when you can get medicare. I say I was forced into early retirement. I have learned there are a lot of hoops you have to jump thru when you try to take social security before you reach your full retirement age, they try to make sure there is no way you can meet all your bills it seems. Other than that everyone is doing alright.
I do not post very often but I do read so keep the posts coming.
Love you all
Lyle

Hello, and welcome!

If you're here, that means you have accepted your invitation to be an author on this blog, so congrats on making it this far.

Tobe and I were talking about an easier way to communicate with one another, and decided a big ole family blog was probably the best way. It'll be a great tool to update each other on what's going on with our lives, post pictures, plan the reunion (apparently our family is in charge of the big Robertson reunion this year), etc.

I have invited everyone to be authors, so you can each post an update whenever you want. I do need Krystal's e-mail address if someone has it, please! She is the only one I didn't have an address for. As soon as everyone accepts the invitation, I will make this blog private so only the authors can read it. So no need to worry about privacy.

Let me know if you have any questions and I will try to help! My e-mail is danaeslade@gmail.com. Now post away!
