Pete just told me: “She’s just like you. She’s cute and Iowan.” (She = Shawn Johnson.)
Go, Shawn, go. Iowans everywhere are proud of you. Obviously. Enough to devote a butter sculpture to it.
And lest you think the butter sculpture is weird, you should read this. Because then you’ll know it’s not that out of line to carve out of butter, Tibetan monks have been sculpting in yak butter since the 1400s. So there.
Plus, the State Fair is awesome. There’s a musical about it and everything. There’s some really good music there, including “It Might As Well Be Spring,” which is a beautiful ballad. You should watch it.
And if that stuff isn’t cute and Iowan, I don’t know what is. So there.

I’ll all about shaped butter. I don’t think you can find it here (not that I have looked hard enough yet) but at Easter out in Colorado you could find “Lamb Butter” – aka, butter shaped like a lamb. Pair that off with “Bunny Bread” – aka bread shaped like a bunny, and what a wonderful Easter it will be!
Did you ever see the butter Garth Brooks? LOL
My favorite was the Butter Last Supper. I like my religion like I like my bread. Covered in butter.
Also, I think my most used phrase during the Olympics was, “She’s so freaking cute!” In reference, of course, to Miss Shawn. Well done, girl!
