  1. (continued from previous page)
    games too numerous to mention.
    On Sundays and Holidays we do have donkey races and jumping and handball.
    In the frost and snow we amuse ourselves by setting bird traps and cribs for birds also for rabbits and hares. The spinning and slashing of tops is a very nice and interesting game.
    We do have great fun going to the woods gathering nuts to crack. When we get them we put a hole through the middle in order to put the chord through.
    We have a couple of tennis courts and whenever we have time we play a game or two.
