I Recently found your channel and have loved the videos. I truly have learned and seen so much that I never would have seen or known about otherwise. One day you and this channel will get the credit owed for your dedication and perseverance in bringing this amazing content into existence. I was sad to see this was your last post but I hope you and your family are doing well. Much gratitude to all the experiences and travels you’ve shared. God speed and best wishes.

[@Realunitedstates]

Well, thank you. After the surgery to my face from the cancer, it just because difficult to do video. I'm alive, and we're both doing fine. I am so grateful for your kind words. Sometimes I think about returning to video, but largely I have returned to my writing. Thank you so much.

[@mom234ever3]

I hope you are well. Miss your posting. Glad spring is coming soon and look forward to seeing new ones. Stay safe. 🙂

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you that's very kind. I haven't had anything new to video, but we are safe and well.

[@jonnerztube]

Hey Paul and Beverley, both looking good, happy anniversary, keep safe especially you Paul given what you've been through.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you, I suppose the weight loss looks good at least, and we are in good health and good spirits. You stay safe and stay healthy as well!

[@MaryDavidson911]

God Bless you both.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you.

[@TeamDaenzer]

Hopefully yall return soon, toured the valley camp last fall because of you!

[@Realunitedstates]

That's so cool. We really love that place.

[@Eusepio1957]

Hello my dear friends! ☑️🍀🍀🍀😀 MERRY CHRISTMAS!!! 😀🍀🍀🍀☑️

[@Realunitedstates]

Hello Ettore, and Merry Christmas!!!

[@RobynG70]

Happy anniversary!! It’s so good to see you both! I noticed the weight loss soon as I saw you both. You look great! I’m so glad things are going well and steady. I’ll be here as long as y’all are. Happy anniversary! ❤️

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much Robyn! It's sort of funny,, we didn't set out to lose weight, it was just an unanticipated benefit of all the work in the garden. So glad you're here with us. I hope we can do more/better this year!

[@edtapia8580]

Blessings. Thank you for this channel! You are very strong

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you! That is very kind. I am so glad you like/enjoy our channel and our work. I hope we can do even better in the coming season!

[@DeDe-iq3ts]

Congratulations, Paul& Bev! You both are looking fantastic.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much! Largely we feel really good. We're staying very active that for sure.

[@christinacw621]

Congratulations on 8 years! I can imagine the restrictions have been difficult to work around for the videos. You two have done a bang up job of working around them. (I personally like the cooking videos very much. 😉) As always, it's good to see you healthy and happy. Stay safe. ♡C

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you Christina! I think that part of our reduced schedule has been the restrictions, and of course some of it has been restricted resources, and beyond that I have had quite the energy this year as in the past, but that is most likely due to a substantially more physical lifestyle than I had previously. I suspect if you don't already have snow on the ground that it is on its way! Stay safe.

[@Cutiepie-z2u2j]

I commented on one of your videos about an old letter from you that I'd found in storage. I've just found another letter you guys sent me! Inside is an albino whitetail deer postcard, Washington DC Union station postcard and a Christmas card. Thank you for thinking of me back then! I hope you are both safe and well

[@Realunitedstates]

We are fine and well thank you.

[@scousepenny21]

Congratulations all the way from the UK

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you! Somehow it seems like it has been longer than eight years, so much has happened and so much has changed. Good to know we have more friends in the UK!!

[@scousepenny21]

@@Realunitedstates Not a problem we found you guys when we were travelling to Boston and Salem and your videos were a great help. Hope yourself and Beverly are keeping well.

[@andrewclarke1212]

Hope everything is going well!

[@Realunitedstates]

Things are going reasonably well, thanks.

[@kingenglishshow7853]

Happy anniversary my dear friend and sister Bev looking great yong and energetic always happy see u here to day I have started posting on my channel once again I hope good time is coming wish u happy best of luck both of you

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much! I know we have not posted as often this year, but we have not given up. Perhaps in the next year it may go better. Stay safe and stay healthy.

[@WhtrBruin]

Paul, I was grading some papers for my classes and it occurred to me out of the blue that I hadn't seen anything from you recently; hope you and Bev are well.

[@Realunitedstates]

Yes, we are well and safe. Not much motivation for making videos anymore. Maybe sometime, but in the interim we are doing reasonably well. Thanks for thinking of us!

[@masterjee2021]

Happy New Year dear friend Paul and respected sis Bev wish u health and happiness in 2022 Best of luck

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so very much, and a Very Happy New Year to you!

[@celticteigyr]

Just came across your video- was looking for a video on rutabagas as I am trying to grow this this year. Then I saw your journey with cancer and this appears to the last video you did. Hope life finds you well. I enjoyed your videos- thank you for sharing them.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you. I am doing reasonably well, and I continue to lead a productive life. Scarring from the cancer surgery has made speaking just difficult enough to make video production sort of unpleasant.

[@Lou_Mansfield]

Gardening is certainly good for health, physically and mentally. Glad you guys get exercise and even lost weight. Eight years on KZbin is certainly a great achievement. Maybe you can do garden content once or twice a year (with minimal narration, however you want)

[@Realunitedstates]

Well, I don't know that making more video is in the proverbial cards, but I appreciate the enthusiasm. Our gardening has been much more restricted in the last couple of years due to time demands. But we still get some good stuff from the garden.

[@oOBubbleStreamOo]

Don't put yourself under pressure with KZbin. It's completely okay if you take your time. And please stay healthy ☺

[@Realunitedstates]

Thanks Julia, I appreciate the concern. Staying healthy is pretty close to the top of my list (right after staying alive) and we are taking good care of ourselves.

[@RichardColwell1]

Damn, I’m from the Flint hills Kansas area, my semester just ended and I will be going into my 5th and final year of Architecture school. I am traveling this spring to visit friends I served with in the Marine Corps, friends that were a part of me growing up, and people I went to HS with, I stopped in Kentucky and saw a sassafras tree today for the first time, and KZbin’d it. I then saw your victory garden video next and had noticed your appearance had changed, and just watched your videos showing your progression through cancer. I’m glad I saw your channel and I’m glad you made it. Thank you for your content and God Bless.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you Richard. Yeah, the cancer was a nasty bit of business, and the aftermath has been no picnic, but I am glad to be alive, and for the most part I am doing well. Thank you so much. Paul

[@terryboyer1342]

Happy 8th Paul and Bev! Great to see ya'll again. Ever been to the Russell Kirk Center there? I've heard the architecture is interesting as well as the man. It's close to you and and would seem to be an interesting topic and video. Just a suggestion. Maybe something on Ferris State too! Toodles!

[@Realunitedstates]

Hey Terry thanks! Have not been to the Russell Kirk Center, so I'll have to look into it. Take care!

[@WorldAfterCovid19TV]

Great! Congratulations! Watching from Malaysia...stay safe and stay blessed. 👍 😇

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much We are staying safe so far. Hope you are too!

[@ipe1461]

8 years! Gongratulations! :) Hope you are doing well :)

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much. Yes, we are doing fairly well. Of course we don't travel due to the pandemic, so not nearly so much to video, especially in the winter. But we are in good health and good spirits. Thank you.

[@ramanvaishnav3380]

Congratulations for such a great journey and many more to come 👍

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much. It has been quite the adventure. It will be interesting to see what is next.

[@Eusepio1957]

*Congratulations on 8 years, happy anniversary!!! my dear friends.....good to see you both! ❤️ Ciao stay safe!!! Big LIKE#34👍*

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much Ettore! An unbelievable number of things and changes have happened in those eight years. But we're doing alright. Hope you folks are staying safe and well!

[@pppjourneyonabike5992]

Thank you both for your videos. I was searching for a Washington DC Union Station video and watched the one you did a few years ago. Thank you for sharing. God bless you both.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thanks for watching! I'm so glad you enjoyed this one!

[@evancortez2]

Congrats Paul and Bev!

[@Realunitedstates]

Thanks Evan! It's been a challenging year, but we are trying to keep the channel afloat.

[@bobbib9820]

I’m so happy for you guys. I’m a new subscriber and I look forward to every video! Thanks for taking the time to make them. :)

[@Realunitedstates]

Thanks for subbing!

[@Vika-se5mc]

Congratulations! 🎊

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much 😀

[@MCRice-el7os]

i singed in just to say my own---followed you all from the same time as Sergei from real Russia. You both seem changed yet good thru it all. maybe seeing change is part of THE REAL UNITED STATES - sooooo - thanks - signed -your much interested, distant cousin - somehow born in the Caribbean but now lives in Florida -mostly caucasian, adopted cousin ---MC

[@Realunitedstates]

Thanks. Yes, I know we have both changed over the years, but that seems to be a reasonable expectation with the passage of the better part of a decade. For myself, there have been some significant life events, not all of them good, happen in the last eight years, and those will affect a person.

[@sksumeet2555]

Congratulations

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you.

[@KostChef1188]

Congratulations and happy anniversary 👏👏👏 you both made really good video and i like it... Especially cooking video... I'm happy for you both... Keep it up Paul and Beverly 👍🏼👍🏼

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you so much!

[@akins3258]

Just found your channel and I just wanted to say how awesome it is! Your content and journey is inspiring. I hope all is well! :)

[@Realunitedstates]

Yes, things are okay. I am glad to hear you found some inspiration in our work.

[@tigAnakStory]

Happy anniversary bev and paul. Good to see you both. Stay healthy and stay connected my dear friend, love from Indonesia :)

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you. We are well, but there has been no opportunities to make video recently. Thanks!

[@kingenglishshow7853]

How r u dear friend long time no see please come back to KZbin we are waiting for new episode hope you both are OK and happy

[@Realunitedstates]

We are fine. There are various reasons we aren't making videos, not the least of which is the global pandemic so we don't go anywhere much. It is currently the middle of winter here, so not much going on outside either. But we are fine. Thank you so much. Stay safe yourself!

[@zlatafruhling1948]

Are you ok? I wish you well 🙏🏻

[@Realunitedstates]

Yes,. we are fine. Very busy, just with other things in life. Thanks.

[@joshjennings5701]

Hope all has been well with you blessing upon you

[@Realunitedstates]

We are well thank you. Life does have its challenges, but all in all we are doing well.

[@rain420war]

Just found u hope to c more soon

[@Realunitedstates]

Welcome. I don't know at this time when, or if, we might resume making content.

[@rain420war]

@@Realunitedstates i understand I have learned a great deal from your previous videos and have put that knowledge and wisdom to good use on my Homestead thank you

[@spankysmp]

Really enjoyed that Bev and Paul. Don't fret about the schedule, as and when will be more then fine and dandy as they say. I'm sure people will agree, they are always good fun from out and about to gardening to cooking. Damn Covid, when things loosen up a bit, maybe a trip around town blog would be in order - that would be great as seeing other places is always nice even if you think it's just humdrum run of the mill everyday. Keep safe and well.

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you. I'm not sure I actually fret about it, but I do try to keep myself motivated to some degree, and sometimes that means kicking my own butt. LOL! But yeah, when circumstance improve, I hope our production schedule will as well. Thanks for sticking with us!

[@MississippiWildlife]

Best of wishes from Biloxi )) Y'all take care :)

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you Jeff! So glad you've stuck with us from the beginning. This year has, thus far, been weird and not produced a lot of videos, but I remain hopeful for the future. Stay safe down there!

[@tiagodoprado2161]

just found this channel and i hope you beautiful souls are doing by well

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you, we are well.

[@ashliegray6000]

I stumbled across one of Paul’s videos and have watched every one since and loved them all. I would love to how Paul is getting on? Hope you’re both doing well and staying safe. Love all the way from England, UK x

[@Realunitedstates]

Well, as chance would have it I (Paul) and doing fairly well. Tomorrow marks the five year anniversary since my cancer surgery, and I am happy to still be alive and active. Bev likewise is well and active.

[@ashliegray6000]

@@Realunitedstates Made my day seeing your reply, so thank you Paul. I’m glad you’re both doing well, I would love to see an update/video on how everything is going for you guys. I genuinely felt pure happiness when I saw (Paul’s) face in a video from 1yr ago :) Paul reminds me a lot of my Grandad which is lovely :) it’s been a long time since I’ve had grandparents so it brings me joy watching you guys. I’d love to hear all about your life stories and the adventures you’ve shared together over a cup of tea 🫖 Wishing you both all the best x

Ettore, hello! We are well and safe, and life more or less is pretty good.

[@Eusepio1957]

Hello people!!!! no new video???

[@Realunitedstates]

Hello Ettore! No, no new video. things have changed quite a lot for me in the last year. I work seven days a week recently, so there is not any time at present to really make much video. Sorry about that.

[@domenicabianco]

very good like

[@Realunitedstates]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@conservativedragon]

You hadn't make videos in a long time like over a year

[@Realunitedstates]

That's true. The vicissitudes of life have consumed our time and resources and taken us in new directions. I sometimes consider making a new video, but it has not seemed to work out.

[@franciscog.3086]

any update?

[@Realunitedstates]

Nothing really. We just ran out of steam about making videos, and of course lots of other things in life have pulled us in other directions.

[@billyjohnson9166]

What happened no more videos?

[@Realunitedstates]

The vicissitudes of life happened.

[@bryanteel3046]

no videos in 2 yrs?? are you ok?

[@Realunitedstates]

We are okay. Just no longer making videos.

[@brilvene]

Where are you ?

[@Realunitedstates]

Well, the aftermath of my cancer surgery and treatment has made it increasingly difficult to talk, so I am just not interested in making videos anymore, and have essentially moved on to other interests.

[@brilvene]

@@Realunitedstates So sad to hear this. You will be missing like a far far friend. Please at least bring some videos with your wife even without talking. God bless you and her. Our prayers always there.

[@brilvene]

Happy Christmas to you and wife

[@BestBuddies.]

Paul are you still alive????? nothing for 2 years I am concerned??

[@Realunitedstates]

Yes, I am still alive, and I appreciate your concern. The scar tissue that resulted from my cancer surgery has made it progressively difficult to speak clearly, so I'm not of much use in front of a camera anymore. But I am in good health, gainfully employed, and largely doing very well.

[@BestBuddies.]

@@Realunitedstates Perhaps still make videos with out speech silent films are nice too
