I was named Gayle because I was born during a blizzard in Winnipeg in November of 1965, almost got called Blizzard or Stormy. They settled on Gale (a big wind) and put a Y in the middle.

I am 5 feet tall and 100 lbs at age 40, same as I was in high school.

I weighted in at 4 lbs 6 oz when I was born.

I've had pets all of my life and will continue to do so.

My younger brother and sister both died 20 years ago this year. Both car accidents, 3 months apart.

I had surgery in April of this year to remove a mass from my left breast, I'm fine and glad it is over.

I currently have one dog (Sasha) and one ferret (Sebastian), they are the loves of my life.

I love football and hockey.

I love to cook, hate to eat.

I've been coloring my hair (lighter) since I was 17, when I found the first of many grey hairs.
