I had never been to an Amish Auction before and I really enjoyed this one. There were lots of Amish and very few Englishers there. I did not get pictures of much of the farm equipment coming up for auction as the Amish men were looking at it and I didn't want to cause problems taking pictures. I really enjoyed the hand made ice cream that the Amish ladies made and sold there. It was delicious. When the auction of the property started, they were told that possession was suppose to be in 30 days, but wouldn't be for at least 12 weeks as the Amish man selling the farm had twisted and broken his hip - for the second time. He had an operation and a steel plate put in, was home, but wouldn't be able to move for at least 12 weeks. The house with the barns, ice house, and some land sold for $65,000.00 (which was very low). A young, I believe, Amish man bought it. The acres across the street sold for $215,000.00. Am not sure, but I think an Englisher bought that. The pictures are of the house, the lot where the buggies were parked. I have a lot more buggy pictures that I will but on maybe next week. Next pictures of some of the farm items sold. I like the picture of the horses watching the auction - they weren't for sale. I did sneak a picture of the Amish watching the auction. Lastly are some pictures of household items being sold. Elmer wanted that sewing machine for his granddaughters. John wanted it for his future wife as she uses her mother's sewing machine. Elmer said just one of us win it and we can figure it out when we get home. I didn't stay that long so I don't know who won it, but I am sure Elmer will let us know. I also don't know if John bought any of the farm equipment.
If anyone else was there and took pictures, please let me know as I would like to put them on here.

Good Morning,
What did I do? I think I hit the wrong button some place and deleted all the posts here. I didn't mean, too. I was trying to delete all the scam.

Hi Marilyn, Just another "oops" in the wonderful world of technology(specifically computers!)! Nice pics though. Glad you enjoyed the auction+ the weather was cooperative. Will be nice to know if Elmer or John got that sewing machine, but maybe someone else got it. I just bought myself a serger. Been wanting one for years+ now it's time to learn how to use it.(nothing like a sewing machine, you know).
Back to work. Enjoy the rest of the weekend. Blessings, Carol
Hi Carol,
That was a big "oops", Glad you like the pics. I think Elmer is going to let us know in our Monday post. So glad you got a sewing machine.
Blessings to you and yours,
Marilyn
Hi Marilyn, Actually, I have 4 sewing machines. A Singer I bought 43yrs ago, Kemore my "other Mom"(met her when I was 21-she's known John since he was a baby)gave me when we lived in Guadalajara, my Mother-in-law's 68yr old Singer, and my Mom's portable Necchi(I think). What I just bought is a Huscvarna Serger. I guess one can do a lot with it, but I want to be able to finish seam edges etc so there are no raw edges to fray+unravel. No it's a matter of learning how to use it. Like anything in life, right? Blessings, Carol
Hi Carol,
Oh my, you do have a few. I guess, I never learned. I took courses, but somehow I never came out knowing what I was doing. Glad others can.

Well Marilyn, y'know, if everyone had the same talent nothing else would get done. And that's Scriptural. Those who are true Christians are part of the Body of Christ; and God gives certain gifts to each member of The Body. That way we all work together for God's glory and the good of The Body of Christ. Hope you're enjoying this beautiful day! God bless, Carol
I agree with you, Carol.
God Bless you, too,
Marilyn
