After retirement, Deila and Bill would get in the car and travel throughout the Southeast and even venture into New York and the Northeast. They particularly loved the Smokies.When not traveling, they would return to "the Farm" for a few days a week. She enjoyed the peace, quiet and fresh air of the country.
