More quilting progress. Lunch for 80. The bush/tree question answered. Cornbread.

Two more shirts are quilted so now the quilt is 41% quilted.
Yesterday we had our annual fall protection training and lunch for the crew we have working on the bridge. The fire station next door came over for lunch and talked about their rescue procedures. The guys from the ODOT office which is next to us in the same office, also came. There was brisket, pulled pork, mac and cheese, green beans, slaw, bread, and cornbread along with beverages. Several of us were helping get everything ready. Then the cleanup happened and by 2:00 I had over 10,000 steps.
Earlier I had spent some time cleaning up the dock area. There was a bunch of leftover stuff from when our office was built out. I tossed that off the dock and dragged it to the dumpster. We needed the space for items. Since I do most of the receiving I was tired of dealing with the mess. So it is all swept and in good shape. This is what it looks like now. Yes, we have a big freezer for ice too!
It was a beautiful evening yesterday so I went out to the back to see if that was a limb or a tree that fell. I was a tree. I will have to add cutting that up on to my list of things to do.
I made a pan of cornbread for work this morning. One of the guys was looking for more cornbread as we were cleaning up from the luncheon, but the cornbread was all gone. So now the fellow can have a piece of this today. It smelled so good!

Good progress on your quilting.
All of that food sounds so good. I bet that guy appreciated you making more cornbread so he could have some.
