Remember When

Happy 28th Wedding Anniversary to Ken and Toni Fontaine!  Toni asked me to do this song today on their day.  28 years ~ full of ups and downs, laughter and tears, and everything else in between!  But through it all I have watched my friends continue to walk the road of life together.  Ken and Toni have been through some STUFF but have come out on the other side still committed to one another.  It has been a pleasure to witness a couple who is committed to making marriage work no matter what comes against them.  They have lots of "Remember when..." moments and here's to many more! 

The test of a marriage is surviving the "remember when..." moments that you'd rather NOT remember! :)

Call it a Day

The literal use of this phrase hails from 1838 when the phrase originally was "call it half a day" to mean leaving work early. (source) The modern use of the phrase is to indicate ending something due to false sense of accomplishment. 

More bang for your buck

This phrase was used a lot in 1953 but an earlier citation puts it at 1940 in a Metals and Plastics Publications advertisement. Read about it here . The phrase means you get more for your money.

Butter someone up

There are two probable origins for this idiom and I think both are equally plausible. The first one is that when you spread butter on bread you are buttering it up like one would do when trying to flatter someone. The second is in ancient India there was a practice of throwing balls of butter at statues to ask for favor, i.e. buttering them up. ( source ) When we use the phrase today we generally mean that extreme flattery is used to gain information or favor. It's not always necessarily a compliment.
