As with the previous years, I have bittersweet emotions - Tammy Fest III is a memory now. And what a memory it is! This year's Tammy Fest was bigger and better than last year's. We decided that it will always be like that - just like how every year they say that Thunder Over Louisville will be bigger than the previous year, even if only by a few fireworks shell. Plans are already underway for Tammy Fest IV. We've already narrowed the choices down to two pictures to use for the Official Tammy Fest Photo, and this morning over breakfast we brainstormed some ideas for next year's festivities.
My favorite recently acquired memarobilia item that Stacy got this year was a 45 record inside a very cool cardboard foldout sleeve. Her favorite item that I added to my collection this year was a page out of an old Billboard magazine from 1969, congratulating Tammy on winning her Grammy Award. I think that if our collection of memarobilia keeps growing at its current pace, we might have to end up renting a hall in a few years for Tammy Fest.
In keeping with the tradition of two-of-a-kind collectors items that we have specially made for Tammy Fest, this year we proudly wore t-shirts that Stacy made using the official photo of Tammy Fest III. We had some photographic issues last night (re: I forgot to bring my digital camera) so I don't have any photos to post today. But we did find one of the kids' disposable cameras and took some pictures so as soon as we get those developed I'll scan them in and post them.
In the words of Tammy Wynette herself, it sure was fun.
