    Thanks for making this video (even though I know it's been a couple of years ago). My wife and I love watching you all and have been subscribers for a long time now. We just moved to Kokomo after my retirement in Titusville, PA. We both grew up in Logansport, IN and wanted to come "back home again" to Indiana to be near family. We've seen the HUGE walking stick, but there's a lot that you showed here that we need to get out and see. Thanks for the videos and may God richly bless you!

    Hi Friends, I enjoyed the tour of Kokomo. The art exhibits were really cool also. What was the building behind you when you were sitting on the bench ? Any idea what kind of tree that went to the leaf that Belle found? It's great to have nice weather to get out and get some fresh air and exercise.
    Blessings ,

    I moved to Kokomo randomly at the time of this filming. We visited once as a midway point for a friend further north and we fell in love. We bought a foreclosed house and fixed it up. There's good and bad, but overall, we love it. I worked for the city on the flowers downtown.

    I enjoyed that tour of Kokomo. Some of that art reminded me of Belle's dragon artwork in style. And there was one piece that sort of reminded me of your textured walls. :-) You may have thought it wasn't a very exciting video but I really liked it. Thanks!

  • @symonsheppard5519
    @symonsheppard5519 7 лет назад +2

    Very nice although a little to many overly square buildings for my liking.
    The elevator, I used to call it the magic room when the kids were young, you get in and it takes you to a different place.
    Mavericks the man for sure, takes everything in his stride, I think he was somewhat confused about traveling sideways though, Belle is certainly a belle and fun too.
    It's a bit close to Christmas for a house sale , you will get it done soon, don't worry, at least you are doing something and not just sitting around.
    I heard maverick telling you someone took his socks, happy boy.
    You do make some good videos and Ashley is still a babe.
    Stay safe

      Yea, not the best time to sell a house, but hey, someone could come at anytime and want it - hopefully soon! We will have to go and try to find his lost sock soon, haha! He just loves to pull his socks off all the time. He's so cute. Thanks! Have a good day :)

    Thank's for taking us along on a nice stroll of your town. We haven't had a showing in weeks. We have on more month on our contract with our realtor. We will probably take it off the market if it doesn't sell. But probably will relist in the spring. Good luck to you all. See ya later :)

    • @diyfferent
      @diyfferent  7 лет назад +2

      Wow, I'm surprised you haven't had a showing in weeks....soooo odd. It's weird how some people list their house and it sells no problem very quickly. Very strange how these things go. Well, I'm hoping your house sells soon, and if it doesn't sell, maybe relisting it in the spring will fetch a higher amount so in the end it will work out better. Thanks, and good luck to you too.

      Miss Gaile funny you say that. The mayor signed a contract with the major of Chicago to allow many of their citizens to move here because you can only be on welfare for 3 years there now before the benefits are stopped and then you have to be off for atleast 8 months I believe. It’s becoming a little Chicago now and I can’t wait to move away from here.
