Teresa from Indiana says: The Amish husband and wife were holding the auction to get rid of their excess household and farm items, that were no longer needed. They had moved into the Dawdy House at their son's farm.
When the Amish are older and no longer have children living at home, they move into a smaller house which is called a Dawdy House. Usually the youngest son, purchases the farm from them. This way, in their senior years, they are cared for by the son's family.
Thank you Teresa for the beautiful pictures. I was going to let this be the only post, but there are so many more beautiful pictures that she sent me of the auction. I was going to be greedy and keep them for when I needed a picture-but I can't do that with all of them. So tomorrow is Old Order Amish Auction - Part II.

Sorry my previous comment was deleted for editing.
I LOVE the parking lot picture of the horse and buggies. Thank you for posting them. I never heard of a Dawdy House. I wonder if it's a practice that the Mennonites follow, and Jean can add that to her list of more moves in the future. ~Doreen
Good Morning Doreen,
I sure will put that question to Jean. I know the answer, but I am going to let Jean tell you.

Marilyn,
Thank you so much for the wonderful way you set all the pictures up. You did a great job! It was a fun day at the auction and the Amish gentleman was pleased with the pictures I took for him and his son.
Blessings, Teresa
Good Morning Teresa,
Thank you for the lovely pictures. With all the pictures you took, I am glad that he is happy. I really thank you and appreciate your sharing these and tomorrow's post pictures with us.
Blessings to you,
Marilyn
I would like to know more about the Dawdy House. Is it a new house that is built when the parents are ready to move out of the original house? When the parents pass away, what happens to it, and how big is it? So many questions... ~Doreen
Hello Doreen,
Thank you for the questions. I have written them for Jean. I am sure she will answer them in one of her future posts. If you have anymore questions, please let me know and I will see that Jean gets them.
