Loved listening to the Uncle Wiggly Story. I also remember an interview where you spoke about 'Peter Pan' - I wanted to share a thought about an exhibit at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in NYC - Guillermo del Toro's 'Pinocchio' - it is wonderful to see the 'crafting of Pinocchio. It will be there through April 15,2023. Seeing the film prior made it more special but not necessary. It is playing at IFC theater, but MOMO is also having some showings.

Thank goodness for Little Tail's thoughtfulness! It just goes to show that sometimes the smallest of gifts can be invaluable, especially when gifted with love. Thank u Patti

Hello Patti-

Thanks for the continuing the very exciting Uncle Wiggily story! When I was small my father would read every night to my five sisters and I from a book titled "Lulu, Alice and Jimmie Wibblewobble" also by Howard Garis. The Wibblewobble family are ducks who have many adventures (of course!) and live near the Littletails and a certain Gentleman Rabbit (who make appearances in the book)! My oldest sister got our copy of the book, but I found an exact copy of it (it's very old!) at a used bookstore a few years ago. I was so happy that I can read it again. When you read your story, I feel as if I am sitting on my bed at night as my father narrates the story to us....and I plan to read the Wibblewobble adventures to my grandchild (almost here!).

Also, I live near Philly (in Newark Del) and so was of course sad that the Eagles didn't win, but as I said to my family, "Philadelphia had the 2022 Phillies in the World Series and the 2022 Eagles in the Superbowl, what other city can say that?!" I'm sure that your father and brother would appreciate that fact!

Thanks as always, Patti, I will think of you as I read the Wibblewobbles tonight!

"down in the tooth" I hadn't called it that. I am "under the weather" those times when I'm not sick, but definitely not at my best. Patti, you look and sound wonderful today. Rest and sunshine can do wonders. Thanks for more Uncle Wiggly.

Your voices of each character are coming into their own. I’m so relieved over the great escape. The Eagles played a good game. Thank you Patti….what could be on the pin?☕️🖤

Thank you. Haha Michael Stipe wrote me that he enjoyed Uncle Wiggly's intermittent William Burroughs accent.

I was hoping that we could all get on the same page about the spelling of Uncle WIGGILY?

I know the author, Howard R. Garis spells it with an i….

We all seem to to all over the place with the spelling.

Help! Help!

After all, we are all readers and therefore, editors and the like.😂☕️

***That is also quite the compliment coming from Michael Stipe💫

It is not a pin but an odd button that appears different in the light.
