I knew it was coming for sure when you staged the bedroom. Karen and Roger, congratulations to you both, I am so glad you are moving now and not waiting a few more years to really enjoy your life. Not that you aren’t now it’s just special to get it started while you are young enough to really enjoy all that a warmer climate has to offer also the beaches!!!!! I cracked up when you said you were going thrifting!! I would not even be able to concentrate on anything I saw in the store because I would be obsessing about everything that needs to be done. Maybe Lisa could come up to help you for a few days, she is a powerhouse just like you ❤ I’m excited to see your new adventures, new thrifting places and your new home. I keep thinking about the thrift store Melissa brought you to that had room after room of inventory. I would love to go to that store! Love you both and am really happy for you ❤
Karen and Roger congratulations on making this big decision in life to move to Florida. My mother moved 10 minutes from me 5 years ago (she is in her 80s) and this has been the greatest time of my life with her. There will be no regrets spending time with your daughter and being able to be so close and within driving distance. I feel bad for Roger not seeing his grandkids as often, but they will appreciate him when they do see him! He seems like the type of person that will fly them out to visit. You have frequently visited Florida to see your daughter so you know very well what is in front of you. You’re a very smart business woman. All of the upgrades you have done to your home just increased the value of your home. Big profits! I’m happy that you will be near your daughter now and I know she will be happy too. I Can’t wait to see you guys in shorts all the time and Thrifting with Melissa! Be safe and what a blessing!
Make sure, if you want your garage for eBay, that your HOA allows you to park your cars overnight in the driveway/street. Some do not allow it if you have a garage.
I live in the same neighborhood that they are moving into and our HOA is amazing. People literally stand and clap at the meetings 😂 It is very different from most other HOAs. My mom and Roger gave plenty of room in front of the garage for parking at least 2 cars side by side.
Free advice: be sure to purchase a generator for your new house. We have to use ours often due to power outages during storms/hurricanes. Best wishes from Plant City, Florida.
I live in the same community that my mom and Roger are moving into and we've only lost power once. I've lived in this area for 10 years and we lost power twice. Our power lines are buried underground which I think helps.
Congratulations!! I saw this coming. The quick trips to Florida, the closing of the booth and staging of the bedroom. I’m so jealous but excited for you!
Pair down but use professional moving company it is worth the expense 100%. This way you don’t have to worry about a single thing and you can go to your new home and start deciding where you want everything to go. That is my advice. Let them do the hard work of loading and unloading.
Congratulations on your new adventure. I downsized & sold my home in 2018 ( sold within 2 weeks) Marketplace, consignment, neighborhood yard sale & remainder to the local homeless shelter. I cleared 10 closets, gave family heirlooms to cousins, but now I'm hunting estate sales here in Charleston SC. I'd love to leave this area for "old Florida" but the husband is clinging to his home. * Make sure you have a generator for hurricanes is my advice. Ironically we have snow here in the south today ~ Wanda (& Vinnie)
Karen, I would love it if you could film some of the moving of your eBay inventory. I am also moving and would love to see your process in moving your inventory and what I can learn from it. Thanks!
It happened so fast! Yeah I knew you were going to move… I thought it for a while ( you going to visit Fla for a day and then the second trip or so you mentioned looking at properties). I’m happy for y’all. Sorta sad. It’s been awhile in this” our” house. It’s amazing how much you become apart of our lives. Congratulations again. ( I had to resub because TH-cam unsubscribed me to everything). I was thinking and laughing to myself about the days of scouting Roger at Goodwill. So so happy for you, for getting “ what was yours”! Happy for you both. Much love Teresa
I did get rid of stuff and I used an estate sale person to sell it and donated the rest! The END!! Maybe not the best but best for us!! Good luck!!👏🥳💞🥰
I’m so happy for you and Roger. You are fulfilling your dreams! ❤ I’m a little sad for me lol since you won’t be shopping at your amazing honey holes any longer. Looking forward to you finding new and fun honey holes in Florida! May your lives there be truly blessed!❤
Congratulations on selling your home! My parents retired to Ocala, Fl about 15 years ago and my favorite thing to do when I visit is go with my parents to all of the thrift stores and estate sales! Trust me, depending on your location, those estate sales are a plenty! Check out the retirement communities like On Top of the World and the Villages. Best wishes on your semi retirement and future thrifty adventures!
Congratulations Karen! Your home is beautiful, I’m sure you would have sold it quickly. I once move from NJ to NC and rented the largest rental truck to personally drive it, it saved me money but not stress lol! But Roger had a CDL so I trust that he can handle it! Enjoy your adventure in packing up and moving. I’m sure you’ll do well! It’s an exciting time! 🎉❤Pat
Sarasota is my dream place to live! Wishing you & Roger many wonderful years there filled with happy times, great new friends, endless viewing of sunsets, and white sand & warm gulf water
It's interesting to me, you are making choices we are grappling with in the next two/three years, although we have decided to stay in our home. All three of our kids live nearby, and we love our neighborhood/city/town. The unloading of stuff is what appeals to me:) Also I just want to say I always appreciate your *not stuck in life/business* acumen. So go out and get what's yours:)
Exciting news for your move! 🚛🚛🚛 Although, you will REALLY miss those Goodwills that have SO MANY hard goods! Here in Miami, the pickings are VERY slim. I hate to admit that I get frustrated when watching your videos because of ALL the packed shelves AND awesome finds. 😊
We have bought and sold many homes…..along with each sale, I sold almost all the contents of the home. You let your realtor know what is or isn’t for sale……we only buy high end firni5ure with designer look so we sell 80 percent with each home….makes life so much easier!
Congratulations on your home's sale! I love my retirement community w lawn maintenance. I have a 1564sq ft 1story townhome w 2 car garage that I do Ebay in.
When I downsized, I went from 5 BR to 2 BR! I don't even need 2 BRs, except for overnight guests. I use my second as a more casual space, a TV den. I decided to use the great room for visiting with company. No TV and it's always tidy and pleasant.(like the living room mom wouldn't let us use as kids😂) The dinning room is attached and also more formal. The bar in the kitchen is perfect for daily meals.... I found that not following the rules worked out great for me... Oh, the 2nd BR has a very large closet with a window. I put shelves up in my laundry room for extra clothes, and use the large closet as my jewelry workshop! Its the perfect for a full jeweler's bench and all of the tools necessary to make my sterling silver jewelry. A little business I started after learning it all on TH-cam!
I have a longaberger picnic basket I received for a wedding present 40 years ago. It has the red and white checked liner and a small platform in it. It’s mostly been used to take the cat to the vet until recently when we bought a cat carrier. It’s so cute. I wish you and Roger the best on your move to Florida. I got sad at first when you told us. But I realize you’ll be back thrifting and selling soon. Good luck, Jan
I am very happy for you and Roger. To be able to finally move and live like you have wanted to is "everything". Looking forward to seeing all your new finds in Florida.
Karen, I moved from a 3,000 square foot house with 4 bathrooms on a large lot to a 2 Bedroom 1 Bath 960 sq foot with only 1 Bathroom and I LOVE IT, we travel and love our cozy simple little house. We have made it cozy and getting rid of lots of stuff is so liberating. I gave my friends and neighbors items. It warmed my heart that they were so happy to have some of my excess. Living with less feels so good. We rented a small U-Haul trailer. Once we were here we bought new furniture. Cheers to being liberated and enjoying a smaller space.
I’d love to see your new house in it’s current state, warts and all, and follow your journey of improvements. It’s my dream to move to Fl but sadly for uk retirees, we can only get 6 month visas.
When you get to Florida, put the Venice Florida goodwill and North port Florida goodwill on your list! They are close to Sarasota and they are amazing and worth the drive!
Fat fit fun… honestly I felt caught in an infomercial 😅 had to fast forward . Wow! Congrats on your new adventure! You are both so hard working… well deserved! Enjoy your “retirement”, we know you’ll still be thrifting. Love it!
Congratulations to you Karen, and Roger! Whew what a lot of work but also, what an awesome adventure and moving to warmer weather, yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!! U will not miss all that snow and cold weather even though parts of Fl. got some snow too but nothing like PA. lol Can't wait to follow you both on your journey!!!! What a great channel!!!
We moved from a big farmhouse in Maine to a much smaller one story house in Florida just north of Tampa. Got rid of alot before we moved but I still brought too much with us. I miss all the storage and out buildings in Maine. Not alot of storage here. My garage here is full! We park in the driveway. Lots of shelving and bins. Best of luck to you. The garage gets extremely hot though. But you will love the weather most of the year 😊
Congrats on your downsizing plans. I'm around your age (a year younger) and I'm with you on less yardwork and smaller home. I have a small home already but it comes with acreage...and I don't do cold! The older I get the less I am attached to material things. Enjoy y'all's new adventure down South...retirement home sounds wonderful and I bet your daughters are excited!
I'm mourning your leaving PA. I have loved getting to know it a bit. Florida, though the thrifting seems good, interests me less. But you two will make it more fun. Congrats on such a fast sale. You will skip some winter. We are under 8 inches in New Orleans of all places. In the 20'S in the morning. Enjoy and move slow toward the South. We move slow because of the heat. And come visit Nola too. It is always a good time.
Remember that the stress level for any couple moving is unreal. It can bring out anger and nervousness like nothing else. Drink lots of Chamomile tea and remember, it’s just stuff you are moving. Replaceable stuff, and it doesn’t love back. And good luck on your move.
When I moved the new owners that purchased my house wanted almost all the decor. I was so lucky because in my new home I had a totally different style. Have you considered asking them what they would like?
We would love to move further south (live in Ohio) but not as far as Florida when we retire. We are both 62 and working full-time. However we won't leave because our 3 grown kids and 9 grandkids live here. Can't leave the grandkids!
OMG! I am shocked you sold your just remodeled house and moving to Florida!!! I know to be near Melissa but you have made that house everything ready for your business. ALL that inventory! Rent a POD to have them drop it off at your property. Good luck but WOW!! And you’re still buying inventory.
That booth was a lot of work, but you tried it and were very successful at it, that's what counts. We will miss you in our neighborhood of Montgomeryville. Was always hoping to run into you and say HI!
Wow, Karen! I just moved to New Port Richey last August. After that we were hit by helene and Milton, historical in that hurricanes had not hit like that in a hundred years. All of Florida is susceptible so please keep that in mind as you move. Thrifting doesn't seem to be as rich in this area but you will still be successful. Good luck!
Best to you & Roger in your move to Florida! I know those of us who are used to where you've been living will miss knowing you're no longer living in the Mid-Atlantic! We live in Md and love Lancaster & surrounding areas and have visited there a number of times. I do think PA has some of the best thrifting, flea markets and vintage/antique markets out there. But l'm sure you'll find all the best Fl has to offer for resellers as dogged & determined as you & Roger are!😀I still recall when I got to meet you at the Ebay resellers event that you organized in Lancaster...6 or 7 years ago? It was great and very helpful. And of course, I found that you're as warm & friendly in person as you are in your videos! Take care & be safe!
Congrats you guys ! We bought a condo and sold our home during Covid in 3 days also. Had to downsize a lot of stuff and move in 6 weeks. We had a moving sale. But thankfully it was in September and people LOVE moving sales ! Sold a ton plus Marketplace also ! Look forward to seeing your move. Although a friend in Pensacola sent me pictures, she has 10” of snow 😮
I remember when you purchased that lovely home on 2015 and all the things you did to it !!! Backyard was my fav ! I live in Fla but Goodwills here are not as nice as up north !!! Happy for all specially Melinda 🫶🏼
Congratulations on your next chapter. I can't imagine moving your inventory. I just moved and I know that there still is too much stuff to move even after down sizing.😅 Good luck.
Enjoy Florida and being with Mellissa and Bear. Maybe I’ll run into you some time when I’m visiting my former home in Bradenton. The thrifting is great where you are going, so I’m sure you and Roger will quickly adjust to your new life. I miss my Florida life but am only one state north so I get to visit often. You will enjoy it!
About four years ago I sold my home and downsized. I had a moving/estate sale and got rid of a lot of my personal furniture and home decor things. I had lived in my home for 40 years and my husband had passed twelve years before (I still had most of his things also) so there was quite a lot that I couldn't take with me. It turned out very well for me since I had also sold my home very quickly. Good luck to you both and enjoy Florida.
Congrats and wishing the both of you a Wonderful life in Florida!!

Aw I love your house and what you n Roger have done! Wishing you best wishes making new memories in your new house! Can’t wait to see! And watch y’all thrift in Florida.
Oh Karen, this was a very fun video.👍❤ I watch all of your videos, and I figured you would be moving near the girls soon. Retiring needs a plan. Slowing way down on the big stuff, also leaving the booth is what you just need to do to find serenity in retirement. Much love and luck on your new home.👁👄👁 I can't wait to see the new place.
Very exciting for you two! I’ll get down there eventually. I want to recommend U-Pack. When I moved to PA from California I used them and saved thousands. They deliver a long trailer to your home and pick it once you pack it. They either haul it or send it on a train to your new location and deliver it anywhere you want. We unloaded to storage first. I hired movers to load the trailer for me. It was easy peasy and moved my stuff cross country for way under 4000.00. That was 5 years ago, but it was a smooth move. I believe U-Pack was delivered from Carlisle but maybe there’s one by you. It’s worth checking it out and getting a quote.
I'd have an indoor yard sale. Might help to get rid of your personal items for sale. Will be so sad not seeing you and Roger at the Lancaster Goodwill but extremely happy for you both!!
I knew it was coming for sure when you staged the bedroom.
Karen and Roger, congratulations to you both, I am so glad you are moving now and not waiting a few more years to really enjoy your life. Not that you aren’t now it’s just special to get it started while you are young enough to really enjoy all that a warmer climate has to offer also the beaches!!!!!

Make sure, if you want your garage for eBay, that your HOA allows you to park your cars overnight in the driveway/street. Some do not allow it if you have a garage.
You are so right! HOAs can be very stressful.
Oh don’t I know it first hand! Luckily I have a long driveway!
I live in the same neighborhood that they are moving into and our HOA is amazing. People literally stand and clap at the meetings 😂 It is very different from most other HOAs. My mom and Roger gave plenty of room in front of the garage for parking at least 2 cars side by side.
Yup, exactly why I don't believe in HOAs
Hoas are the WORST
Wow!! Such exciting news!! I wish you the best and an easy transition - I can't wait to go along with you and your sweet husband on your new journey.
So exciting! Your house was lovely and all the renovations you did certainly paid off.

Melissa and Bear are going to love having you close!
So so so true!!!! We are counting down the days ❤
I cannot imagine going to Goodwill when you’re in the middle of a moving all of these items.
THAT was my first thought!
Congratulations on your new adventure. I downsized & sold my home in 2018 ( sold within 2 weeks) Marketplace, consignment, neighborhood yard sale & remainder to the local homeless shelter.

Roger in that bunny suit was classic, what a trooper 👏
It sold so soon because you did such good things to it and you make it so tidy always!
Karen, I would love it if you could film some of the moving of your eBay inventory. I am also moving and would love to see your process in moving your inventory and what I can learn from it. Thanks!
Lots of fun memories created in that eBay house for us the viewers. I'm excited to see videos from your new location. Enjoy swimming at the beach!
Congratulations on the super fast sale of your lovely home!
It happened so fast! Yeah I knew you were going to move… I thought it for a while ( you going to visit Fla for a day and then the second trip or so you mentioned looking at properties).

I am so happy for you both and very grateful that I was able to meet you are Roger on separate occasions within the past few months. Congrats!!
28:48 I have that exact lantern! 😊 I also love it!
Congratulations Karen! Your home is beautiful, I’m sure you would have sold it quickly. I once move from NJ to NC and rented the largest rental truck to personally drive it, it saved me money but not stress lol! But Roger had a CDL so I trust that he can handle it! Enjoy your adventure in packing up and moving. I’m sure you’ll do well! It’s an exciting time! 🎉❤Pat
Sarasota is my dream place to live! Wishing you & Roger many wonderful years there filled with happy times, great new friends, endless viewing of sunsets, and white sand & warm gulf water
I hope you also make it to Sarasota!
So exciting! Congratulations and looking forward to watching you for a long time to come!
It's interesting to me, you are making choices we are grappling with in the next two/three years, although we have decided to stay in our home.

Congrats on your Collab with FFF! SO EXCITED FOR YOU.
Exciting news for your move! 🚛🚛🚛
Although, you will REALLY miss those Goodwills that have SO MANY hard goods! Here in Miami, the pickings are VERY slim. I hate to admit that I get frustrated when watching your videos because of ALL the packed shelves AND awesome finds. 😊
We have bought and sold many homes…..along with each sale, I sold almost all the contents of the home. You let your realtor know what is or isn’t for sale……we only buy high end firni5ure with designer look so we sell 80 percent with each home….makes life so much easier!
I’m so excited for you both!!! So thrilling!!!
I’m never moving to Florida; I have curly hair 😂 when you know….😂❤
I just throw mine up in a messy bun and hope for the best 😂😂😂
Happy for you both Retirement from selling. Will miss seeing you n Roger at GW route 30. All the best n happy trails
Welcome to our beautiful Florida, it’s chilly here today! Love watching you two! We are in central Florida!
Congratulations on your home's sale! I love my retirement community w lawn maintenance. I have a 1564sq ft 1story townhome w 2 car garage that I do Ebay in.
You just completed your house extension .
Wow
You're moving on,what a job to move all that stuffed..
Good luck

I bet the cat in the picnic basket was the cutest thing❤
Karen I hope all those Prismacolor are good. I LOVE those!!! great video Karen and Roger....
Wow! I did not guess that! How exciting! Can't wait to see your new town! Best of luck for your move! 🌞🏖
I am very happy for you and Roger. To be able to finally move and live like you have wanted to is "everything". Looking forward to seeing all your new finds in Florida.

Exciting and congrats 🎉 Can’t wait to see the Florida space!
I’d love to see your new house in it’s current state, warts and all, and follow your journey of improvements. It’s my dream to move to Fl but sadly for uk retirees, we can only get 6 month visas.
I love the artwork of the horses! And the one that looks like a bare winter tree!
When you get to Florida, put the Venice Florida goodwill and North port Florida goodwill on your list! They are close to Sarasota and they are amazing and worth the drive!
Fat fit fun… honestly I felt caught in an infomercial 😅 had to fast forward . Wow! Congrats on your new adventure! You are both so hard working… well deserved! Enjoy your “retirement”, we know you’ll still be thrifting. Love it!
Agree. Stuff we don’t need or want coming monthly?! What?!
Congratulations to you Karen, and Roger!
Whew what a lot of work but also, what an awesome adventure and moving to warmer weather, yesssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!
U will not miss all that snow and cold weather even though parts of Fl. got some snow too but nothing like PA. lol
Can't wait to follow you both on your journey!!!!
What a great channel!!!
That's the first snow in FL in over 30 years...rare indeed
We moved from a big farmhouse in Maine to a much smaller one story house in Florida just north of Tampa. Got rid of alot before we moved but I still brought too much with us.

I had a feeling you were moving to Florida! Congratulations!!
Congratulations! Pennsylvania will miss you. Enjoy your new adventure.
Congrats on your downsizing plans. I'm around your age (a year younger) and I'm with you on less yardwork and smaller home. I have a small home already but it comes with acreage...and I don't do cold! The older I get the less I am attached to material things. Enjoy y'all's new adventure down South...retirement home sounds wonderful and I bet your daughters are excited!

Congratulations! My husband and I moved from Baltimore, Md to central FL about 5 years ago and love it!
WOW! Best of luck!! I wish I had your energy and enthusiasm!
When I moved the new owners that purchased my house wanted almost all the decor. I was so lucky because in my new home I had a totally different style. Have you considered asking them what they would like?
We would love to move further south (live in Ohio) but not as far as Florida when we retire. We are both 62 and working full-time. However we won't leave because our 3 grown kids and 9 grandkids live here. Can't leave the grandkids!
OMG! I am shocked you sold your just remodeled house and moving to Florida!!! I know to be near Melissa but you have made that house everything ready for your business. ALL that inventory! Rent a POD to have them drop it off at your property. Good luck but WOW!! And you’re still buying inventory.
Well she’s got to film and make money on U-Tube 😂
That booth was a lot of work, but you tried it and were very successful at it, that's what counts. We will miss you in our neighborhood of Montgomeryville. Was always hoping to run into you and say HI!
I knew you were moving to FL 😅 Good for you
Congratulations on your upcoming move & the quick sale of your home. I'm very happy for you both
Congrats on your new adventure you two!
Wow, Karen! I just moved to New Port Richey last August. After that we were hit by helene and Milton, historical in that hurricanes had not hit like that in a hundred years. All of Florida is susceptible so please keep that in mind as you move. Thrifting doesn't seem to be as rich in this area but you will still be successful. Good luck!
Karen, I hope you will be very happy in Florida and I mean that. I'm not surprised your home sold in one day as it's darling.
Welcome to FL!! Yeah!!♥️
Karen I’m pleased for you both ,what ever makes you happy lv Ann 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧❤️❤️❤️
Best to you & Roger in your move to Florida! I know those of us who are used to where you've been living will miss knowing you're no longer living in the Mid-Atlantic!

It was great and very helpful. And of course, I found that you're as warm & friendly in person as you are in your videos! Take care & be safe!
Going to miss all the Pennsylvania haunts you show us but all the best!
I’m surprised your still sourcing since your moving but you go girl❤it would be hard to have a booth here while living in Florida 🙄
Luv the earrings…you could place plants in the walk way on that wagon, why not & hope they don’t ride away lol!
Congratulations on your new adventure.
Congrats you guys ! We bought a condo and sold our home during Covid in 3 days also. Had to downsize a lot of stuff and move in 6 weeks. We had a moving sale. But thankfully it was in September and people LOVE moving sales ! Sold a ton plus Marketplace also ! Look forward to seeing your move. Although a friend in Pensacola sent me pictures, she has 10” of snow 😮
I remember when you purchased that lovely home on 2015 and all the things you did to it !!! Backyard was my fav !
I live in Fla but Goodwills here are not as nice as up north !!! Happy for all specially Melinda 🫶🏼
Congratulations on your next chapter. I can't imagine moving your inventory. I just moved and I know that there still is too much stuff to move even after down sizing.😅 Good luck.
CONGRATULATIONS ON THE NEW HOME 🎉🎉🎉
Congratulations! Hope the move goes well.
Enjoy Florida and being with Mellissa and Bear. Maybe I’ll run into you some time when I’m visiting my former home in Bradenton. The thrifting is great where you are going, so I’m sure you and Roger will quickly adjust to your new life. I miss my Florida life but am only one state north so I get to visit often. You will enjoy it!
Congratulations!!! 🎉
Love the video. Congratulations on the sell of your house
LOVE, love, love your earrings Karen - where did you get those??? Congrats on your big move, wishing you & Roger happiness and a safe move ❤
CONGRATULATIONS!
Congratulations you are living my dream but not Florida I want to be in NC in the next 5 years , so excited for you
Love your videos. Hope you have a smooth transition to your new home.
About four years ago I sold my home and downsized. I had a moving/estate sale and got rid of a lot of my personal furniture and home decor things. I had lived in my home for 40 years and my husband had passed twelve years before (I still had most of his things also) so there was quite a lot that I couldn't take with me. It turned out very well for me since I had also sold my home very quickly. Good luck to you both and enjoy Florida.
Congrats and wishing the both of you a Wonderful life in Florida!!
Aw I love your house and what you n Roger have done! Wishing you best wishes making new memories in your new house! Can’t wait to see! And watch y’all thrift in Florida.
So happy for you guys even though I will miss running into you both!
Oh Karen, this was a very fun video.👍❤ I watch all of your videos, and I figured you would be moving near the girls soon. Retiring needs a plan. Slowing way down on the big stuff, also leaving the booth is what you just need to do to find serenity in retirement. Much love and luck on your new home.👁👄👁 I can't wait to see the new place.
Hello Karen and Roger, I saw this coming hint* hint* in a few videos!! Can't wait for new thrift stores' adventures!!😊
You were one of the very few that did! 🥰
Are you moving just to be close to your daughter? Can’t believe you are leaving your beautiful home-with the perfect basement !
Very exciting for you two! I’ll get down there eventually. I want to recommend U-Pack. When I moved to PA from California I used them and saved thousands. They deliver a long trailer to your home and pick it once you pack it. They either haul it or send it on a train to your new location and deliver it anywhere you want. We unloaded to storage first. I hired movers to load the trailer for me. It was easy peasy and moved my stuff cross country for way under 4000.00. That was 5 years ago, but it was a smooth move. I believe U-Pack was delivered from Carlisle but maybe there’s one by you. It’s worth checking it out and getting a quote.
I just checked some old emails & apparently in 2021 I got a quote from U-Pack for 2200.00 from Hershey to Orlando. 😊
I'd have an indoor yard sale. Might help to get rid of your personal items for sale. Will be so sad not seeing you and Roger at the Lancaster Goodwill but extremely happy for you both!!
So excited to see the new house and area!
