With families having outgrown their need for summer bungalows, the 1980's brought change, which came in the form of senior citizens. For the next twenty years Moonglow was the summer home of active retired adults from New York and Florida. Everything that was needed to enjoy their stay was included. All they had to do was bring clothes and a toothbrush.

Miriam was always at the center of every activity. Bingo and movies, line dancing and card games, trips to Monticello Raceway and the bowling lanes, and of course, the Saturday night parties with a live band and show. But the highlight of every summer at Moonglow was, and always would be, the opening Saturday 4th of July party. Miriam provided free food and drinks for all, and her spread could feed an army. It was the perfect way to kick off the summer season!

Moonglow was one mile from the town of Loch Sheldrake which had a lake with boating, a movie house, stores, restaurants, and the Sullivan County Community College. The college had an adult summer program offering various courses, and they also performed concerts and plays. Directly across the street from Moonglow was the entrance to Lochmore Park. It was a lovely walk through the park on a paved road that lead to Morningside Lake. At the lake there was boating and fishing. Also, located at the park were two public PGA golf courses and tennis courts.
