It has been a while since I started this blog. I knew that it would take a while to get going on it regularly but I was surprised at how busy the spring and summer were. I am still thinking about the layout for the blog but did at least want to mention that this Sunday we are having the Annual Halloween Chili Supper at the Utica church. It promises to continue the tradition of good food and a fun time. There are crafts and baked goods upstairs and dinner in the fellowship hall downstairs. It will be 4-7 p.m. on Oct. 18 at the Presbyterian Church in Utica.
