Because I just looked at Kimberly_a's friends list and realized I was clogging it with rantings about various candidates and it's probably driving everybody nuts. :-) I do have a life, really! Right now it involves baking a truckload of cookies (well, six dozen) for the annual cookie exchange I've been attending since 1992. I'm feeling somewhat under the weather but I realized this is the only day I can do it. Michael is working late so won't be haunted by the smell of baking cookies that he's not allowed to touch (that is, assuming they actually turn out to be any good.)

ELLIS, Adelaide
Wednesday, December 3, 2003
ELLIS, Adelaide - Passed away peacefully in her home in San Francisco November 28. A proud native San Franciscan, Addie spent all of her 95 years in the city she loved. She was spunky and irrepressible, with a ready laugh often directed at herself. Married for 55 years to the late Willard "Bill" Ellis, she devoted herself to the care of her family, home, and friends, but she was also a faithful volunteer with Mount Zion Hospital and the San Francisco Lawyers' Wives. After suffering a stroke in 1991, she had to abandon knitting and dressmaking, at which she was expert, but not her weekly mahjongg games; nor did she have to forgo her shopping and dining excursions, thanks to a collapsible wheelchair and her sturdy and caring helpers Danuta Sadowski, Norma Ramos, and Virginia Velasco. She is held in loving memory by her daughters and sons-in-law, Patricia and Lee Milovich and Nancy and Jerry Falk; her granddaughters and grandsons-in-law, Karen Milovich and Lorence Mailman, Katherine Falk, and Susanna Falk and York Kennedy; her nephew Robert Hermann; and her cousin Winifred Rice. Memorial donations may be made to your favorite charity.
