Mom, Dad Can I Pet the Rhino?

Dad is in Johannesburg, South Africa this week! It took him 29 hours to fly there. He flew from Chicago to London to Johannesburg. He had a twelve hour lay-over in London. Dad said that he read two books, a newspaper, and drank four cups of cappuccino.

Dad said that he met some very nice people in South Africa while he was working. He said that he will have lots of stories about his work when he comes home. Dad said that he went on a safari too! He told me that he saw lions, leopards, zebras, tigers, and rhinoceros..ses…ses..ses, oh whatever. I wish I could talk, because I would ask him to bring home a baby rhinoceros for me just like this one. I just know that it would be best friends with Daisy and I could keep it in our backyard! I wonder what I should name it?

Like I said, this week’s blog will be a short one. My Dad misses me and Mom and he thinks about us every day and each night before he goes to sleep. I miss him too.
