Making time is impossible but making the most of our time is often a matter of focus, planning and of course God’s grace. After learning that RV repair is less a completed task and more an ongoing process of managed care… we decided that we would lean on the mission statement and keep moving along our route. My brother asked me recently, “why did you decide to do this trip?” It was more about planning for our #3 son to join us this month and complete his northern expedition but his question is the right one for keeping this bus on task.

ItsDillerTime was a decision to grow closer by challenging each of us to live closer and explore more. To ask for God’s direction while planning to explore the relationships and places He has granted us the resources to be part of.

So this last 2 weeks, after spending >$700 to not find where our engine coolant is leaking, we found the confidence to keep moving and solve the problems as they present, plus learn what a siphon pump is to add coolant along the way. So far so good 👍

We’ve explored some history and some less “nature focused” sites like Philadelphia and NYC! Crazy juxtaposition to explore both the origins of our country and some of the modern accomplishments in building an 8.8 million person city on an island! Also celebrated Michele’s birthday and did some RV trick-or-treating and a great stop at the Philadelphia South KOA parking near some friends! Thanks Elizabeth and Rick for getting us some RV life education and some fellowship on the porch 😎
