Cheryl - my Mom&#39;s best friend was about the same - and she decided she was just going to give up - and the next day she was gone.  Strong willed right to the end. <br />
<br />
No plans for Labor Day - dh is off from this Monday until the Saturday of the following week - so I will have to get his honey-do list ready.  Mom&#39;s 80th birthday is the following weekend and that&#39;s always up to me.  Planning a family dinner - turkey.  At least that way I get some nice leftovers lol.<br />
<br />
Take care and give your FIL a few extra hugs - it sounds like he just might need them :o)
