Little did Linda Christensen know when she walked into a 40 degree rotating cooler in 1972 that inside that cooler over the next 50 years she would carve 41,500 pounds of butter into the likenesses of more than 550 young women involved in dairy farming.

Produktbeschreibung
Little did Linda Christensen know when she walked into a 40 degree rotating cooler in 1972 that inside that cooler over the next 50 years she would carve 41,500 pounds of butter into the likenesses of more than 550 young women involved in dairy farming. In that time traditions developed around the "butterheads" including the lives they go on to live, some as centerpieces on wedding tables, in cookie dough for hundreds of holiday baking exchanges, at town corn feeds, and church pancake breakfasts. Some remain in farm family freezers for decades. Linda jokes that through cooler conversations with her subjects she gained at least a graduate degree in theoretical dairy farming. She learned much about the history of butter, of butter sculpting, of women's traditional contributions to their home dairies, and the new story of women dairy farmers. Minnesotans have honored Linda for gaining the state and its dairy farmers national recognition. She has gained the status of Minnesota icon. Now she relives her many unique memories, not only of her butter carving history but of her early life and journey to becoming the woman who carves butter at the Minnesota State Fair.
Autorenporträt
Linda Christensen and Norma Strange felt God's direction and encouragement during their pursuit and development of the stories and descriptions incorporated in the book. They witnessed or faced many of these challenges personally themselves. Linda and Norma's lifelong pursuit of critical thinking facilitated their efforts to analyze these challenging situations. The stories illuminate some of the subtle but devious ways that "doing what comes naturally" damages and destroys personal relationships. Mission Impossible becomes Mission Possible with God's awesome guidance and power.
