I'm thinking Ontario
here is some info from the official website:
Birth Date: August 26, 1951
Likes: Steaming lattes (skim milk - of course), leisurely soaks in the bathtub, teaching her granddaughter, playing with her grandson, weed-free gardening, good books, good movies, good live theatre, laughter, cooking (not necessarily in that order!)
Dislikes: Bathroom scales, creatures that shed (animals & humans alike), the smell of the back yard when the snow thaws, unreliable people, litterers, acid rock, fighting and all that's "unfair"
Hobbies: Reading, the local theatre, volunteer committee for the Downtown Improvement Association, jogging, gardening, writing letters to friends (on real paper!)
Aspirations: Send & receive email effortlessly, be in shape to run a half marathon - not do it - just be able to! To put all the family photos in books - in order! Be remembered by her kids as having been a good mom.
Elly Patterson has many titles in life - Loving mother and wife, doting grandmother, understanding mother-in-law, devoted daughter, sensitive friend, patient pet owner and retired former businesswoman. We are endeared to her as she demonstrates, in her humorous way, that it's okay to be human while juggling life's demands - even when your Super Woman t-shirt is in the laundry!
Never losing sight of what's important, Elly always makes time to sit and chat over a steaming coffee with one of her many friends, sharing some of the losses and victories on the battlefield of life. For Elly, one of her victories was learning she could run a successful business as well as a successful household. Another was becoming a Grandma although she was not one hundred percent sure she was ready for that title yet. Once Meredith was born, Elly put on the badge of honor and now wears it proudly where ever she goes. She even bought a "Brag Book" which is getting even more packed with photos now that she's a grandmother of two!
Elly is the cornerstone of the Patterson family and it is her take on life, her interactions with the other characters and her ability to keep things running (even if not always smoothly) around whom the strip revolves.
