We have so many words and sayings that have their origins in the colonial era. Those who have followed our social media may recall "flash in the pan" from one of our earlier posts. However, would you know that a butte-load or butte-ton is also rooted in history?!

Once of our favorite parts of history is seeing how it has impacted us today! From the historic speeches and aspirations of our forefathers to the traditions and language that live on in our modern era. Through this appreciation of the past we can gain more respect for the timeless motivations, courage, and traits that we seek to have in our own lives.
