They were pricy. Anyway, it was decided I could have one for my birthday. <BR/><BR/>Now it was a LAW (passed by congress; signed by the President) that on my birthday EVERY year we went to Disneyland. So, since we would be there on the day anyway, we waited, and I got to pick out my Pendleton and buy it at the Frontierland Pendleton shop, which only made it more special.<BR/><BR/>Sure, all the other kids had Pendletons, but MINE was from Disneyland! It made it twice as special. I wore it for years, and hated when I outgrew it. (We'd deliberately bought it overlarge, so I wouldn't outgrow it too fast.) Now that the Frontierland Pendleton shop is long gone, I'll never buy another. It just wouldn't be the same. And it wouldn't have that near-Wally-Boag smell.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the pictures that brought that ancient memory back.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-7717013681124909582008-04-13T08:35:00.000-07:002008-04-13T08:35:00.000-07:00I would like to buy a saddle at the Pendleton shop...I would like to buy a saddle at the Pendleton shop and then carry it around all day!Major Pepperidgehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09843598326995116014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19940374.post-79805029146816683512008-04-13T07:25:00.000-07:002008-04-13T07:25:00.000-07:00I like the touch in the first photograph of the cl...I like the touch in the first photograph of the clothing types lettered onto the windows.
