- The games I play are slashing tops, rolling wheels, playing pitch and toss and Blind Man's Buff. In the Summer I would go around the fields picking black-berries and bring them home and my mother would make jam out of them. Myself and my brother some evenings would go looking for bird's nests in the Summer time. When people are playing pitch and toss they pitch big money. Sometimes many of them get broken. You would see some men and they would lose all they would have. Young boys think it great fun in games.
