Prayer before Starting on a Journey
My holy Angel Guardian,
ask the Lord to bless the journey which I undertake,
that it may profit the health of my soul and body;
that I may reach its end, and that,
returning safe and sound,
I may find my family in good health.
Do thou guard, guide and preserve us.
Amen.

The Ants Came Marching
The ants came marching one by one, Hurrah, Hurrah, The ants came marching one by one, Hurrah, Hurrah, The ants came marching one by one, The little one stopped to suck his thumb, And they all went marching down... to the ground... to get out... of the rain...
The ants came marching two by two, Hurrah, Hurrah... The little one stopped to tie his shoe...
The ants came marching three by three, Hurrah, Hurrah... The little one stopped to climb a tree...
The ants came marching four by four... The little one stopped to shut the door...
The ants came marching five by five... The little one stopped to take a dive...
The ants came marching six by six... The little one stopped to pick up sticks...
The ants came marching seven by seven The little one stopped to wave at heaven...
The ants came marching eight by eight... The little one stopped to make them late...
The ants came marching nine by nine... The little one stopped to scratch his spine...
Row, row, row your boat
Row, row, row your boatGently down the stream,Merrily merrily, merrily, merrilyLife is but a dream
Row, row, row your boatGently down the brook,If you catch a little fish Please let it off the hook
Row, row, row your boatGently down the creek,If you see a little mouse Listen to it squeak
Row, row, row your boatGently down the river,If the river gets you wet Don't forget to shiver
Row, row, row the boatGently to the shore,If you see a lyin' bear Don't forget to roar
Row, row, row your boatWatch the water flow,Rowing's fun but rowing's hard That is what I know
Row, row, row your boatGently down the lake,Don't stand up and rock the boat
The ants came marching ten by ten... The little one stopped to say THE END...
Found a Peanut
Tune: Clementine,
Found a peanut, found a peanut,Found a peanut just now,Just now I found a peanut,Found a peanut just now.
Cracked it open, cracked it open,Cracked it open just now,Just now I cracked it open,Cracked it open just now.
It was rotten, it was rotten,It was rotten just now,Just now it was rotten,It was rotten just now.
Ate it anyway, ate it anyway,Ate it anyway just now,Just now I ate it anyway,Ate it anyway just now.
Got a stomach ache, got a stomach ache,Got a stomach ache just now,Just now I got a stomach ache,Got a stomach ache just now.
That's a big mistake!
A funny alternative version goes like this…
Row, row, row your boatgently down the streamand if you see a crocodile,don't forget to screamAghhhh!

Fun Facts
The Interstate Numbering System
Just a little knowledge on the Interstate numbering system can be a great aid in navigating throughout the country. The numbering system can offer valuable clues to your location and direction. Keep in mind the following rules when traveling:
One or two digit even-numbered Interstates are always east-west routes. The numbers increase from the south (I-4) to the north (I-96).
One or two digit odd-numbered Interstates are always north-south routes. The numbers increase from the West Coast (I-5) to the East Coast (I-95).
Three digit Interstates with the first digit an even number are usually circular loops or "beltways" around cities (eg. I-295 around Richmond/Petersburg Virginia or I-695 around Baltimore)
Three digit Interstates with the first digit an odd number are usually "spurs" that leave or go into a city center. (eg. I-395 in Washington D.C. or I-195 in Providence RI)
