Scraps to quilts

The amazing disappearing nine patch. If you are inundated with projects just give this one a pass :))
 The antibiotic this morning left me feeling very washed out so I went back to bed. What a waste of time. I am waiting to hear about the stress test before I call the doctor. If things are good on the test I expect to go directly to surgery LOL. If not I guess they will put me in the line up for an angioplasty. Then I'll call the doctor and cry.
Ray had to go to the specialist to see about his thumb. The doctor put cortisone into right away. He said it might take a month before he gets the full benefit of the treatment.
Across the street from the doctor's office was a huge house, it must have covered two city lots. The most interesting architectural feature was the roof top deck . I took a photo of the roof and the special cover. It reminds me of a flying buttress.
In keeping with my promise to show you the colours of the houses my next photo is one of a rich deep red/rose.
Almost missed it but here it is.  There is a trick to taking photos from a moving car. You have to start taking the picture befreo you reach your subject as there is a slight delay in the snapping time. Setting it up to be precisely on the subject and you miss the photo. I have missed lots of pictures that I wanted.
 I did see dogs today but my camera was in my bag and I didn't feel like trying to catch them. The little devils seem to be behind a tree or post or car most of the time. I like it when they are standing still LOL.
I think maybe you wonder how i can get around these days when I am not that well. First I have a walker that helps stabilize me or I would stagger and fall and then I have Ray who keeps a very close eye on me. If I were to pass out Ray knows what to do. That is the reason why I am not going to my groups. I would worry that no one woud know what to do.   The last reason is that most of the places I go have stairs and I find I can hardly get up 2 steps right now.
So my social doings have to be curtailed for the time being. 
My tale is ended for the day,next chapter tomorrow.
Have a good evening.
Guten Abend.

Wonder if that's a solar panel? It does look unusual. Not a little red school house but a pretty red house.
