Chatty Cathy's Blog: Dravenstott's Restaurant
Dravenstott's Restaurant
One of my favorite places in town to eat is Dravenstotts. Great food,nice friendly staff to serve you.
You can enjoy eating in a nice clean dining room,with a salad bar and plenty of room to bring family and friends for a birthday outing.
In a hurry to get home,you can order out back of the building and have a car hop bring out your food to go,or relax and eat in your car.
They have been car hopin since 1969 and still going strong.
My favorite is their fish dinner,which is in the photo above.
Located in Orrville,Ohio

Scentsy. *review*
I won a nice basket of Scentsy products at a quarter auction I hosted.
I tried the laundry citrus scent. The scent was a little too strong for me! Made the blankets smell good afterwards,but cant that strong of a scent.
I will be trying other scents from Scentsy
Whats for lunch?
My girls are big meat eaters and love tryin new things. I made this a few wks ago and it was a big hit!
Johnsonville sweet brats fried with green peppers,onions,pasta and a little butter on top of the pasta. Season to your own liking.
Laundry Mat Boredom
What do you do at the laundry mat when youre bored?? Look for things to photograph lol
Nest in a can
When we moved into our old years ago,I found a coffee can that someone made for the sparrows.
I hung it back up on the garage and every year,lots of little eggs were hatched.
I was able to capture photos of these babies,and watch them grow..even caught momma in the nest one night and she was ok with me visiting her nest daily.
Sadly,the nest was empty one day and lots of pieces of the bedding was sticking out. I thought I would be nice and clean the what I could out. Im not sure if it was these babies,or others that were hatched,but I found little bodies in with the sticks.
The summer was hot,and was afraid the heat played a part in the deaths..so I buried the babies I found and got rid of the can .
I no longer live at that house and hope the sparrows that come back early find a new place to make a nest for their eggs.
Coupon Binder vs Coupon Accoridan
Any way you want to store and use your coupons is your choice. For me,I found the binder works best. I need to be able to see my coupons or I will forger what ones I have and waste time going through them one by one. Any binder will work,I have found a few at the local thrift stores. The one that I have used over the years I got at Staples on clearance. If you want to use the binder method, here is some ideas to use. These are what I use
3inch binder
Dividers with tabs so I can keep each catagory seperate
Baseball card holders
These you can get at Target in a large pack under $6 bucks. Ebay also has some.
Pencil pouch with holes to put in my binder.
I put scissors,pen,paper,caculator in there,never know when I will need something. :)
Cheap Jewerly Cleaner
Any denture cleaner tabs will work
I learned this trick while working in the nursing home.
Use denture tabs to soak rings for a cleaning. I have cleaned my 14k gold rings,sterling silver rings,earrings and never had a problem. I picked these denture tabs and the tub at the Dollar Tree.
Couponing saves money $$
Do you coupon ? Think its a waste of time?
I used to think that also. Then I started out with a few coupons and seen how much I can save if I put the effort in.
This trip the water was on a 3 day sale at my local grocery store. Its usually $3.19 just for a 6pk of flavored water. The sale was 10 for $10. With coupons , I paid 10 for $5.00. :)

Moving in...
The last few months have been a big change in mine and my daughters lives.
I left a bad releationship after 13 years,of mentally and verbal abuse. Meet my current boyfriend months ago after buying a computer from him,and today we brought bunkbeds for my girls to move in with him!!
He has accepted me and my girls and has treated us so nice and will do anything for us. We love him to the moon and back!!
