 We used to build houses. In the winter we'd have a skating rink which was mother's wash water from the from the Monday washing and we'd bank the snow up and clear the lawn and and we'd have a skating rink. It probably snowed every day but we cleared it and we had old skates that my dad had brought from Winnipeg back in in the 1920s so we had these old skates and we had sticks for hockey sticks but we played but we always said we're glad when school used to finish the end of June and start the first week in September except for some years we'd go back August the first because the winters were so cold back then that we wouldn't go back until February the first so they even the school year out but we used to say be so glad to get back to school because it's not holidays they're work days because so that's all we did was work.
