During this time, we completed our 7th year of retirement living. Our nomadic lifestyle found as spending 46% of our time in various timeshare resorts. That would mean that we spent 1346 nights in mostly WYNDHAM RESORTS. We definitely have taken advantage of our purchases across the years since we became owners in 1982.
It was there that we were joined by five couples with whom we have shared lives since college days in the late 1960s. This would be the eighth consecutive year that we have met for a five day "Celebration of Friends". This year, aside from the general times of reunion, we enjoyed a luncheon cruise on the lake and an outing to Bridal Cave. We had two couples who couldn't join us this year and they were missed greatly. Maybe next year.
Now we await our family to arrive for the Thanksgiving season. The memories we have made throughout the years with family are cherished and have left an awesome impact on all of us.
Thank you, WYNDHAM!

REFLECTIONS
These resort times with friends and family are always cause to reflect on days gone by. They are times to remember many of the amazing things that we have experienced together. They are times of laughter and, sometimes, tears. They are always special times.
Yet as much as I enjoy these times with those I love, I never want to get stuck in the past. There's too much to be treasured in the present and looked forward to in the future. I know that, as a 76-year-old, my days are numbered but, my intention is to find something to enjoy in each of them. It could be a foggy sunrise or a sky full of birds at sunset. Most of these things will be simple but I plan to simply enjoy them. How about you?
