Stefanie's Story
Life
If you like, follow me on FB. I’m Stefanie Argudo Mackenzie over there.
I've been many places, done many things, and lived an interesting, full life so far. I had my family late, but they were worth the wait. My son is now back in the U.S. after having spent the last 3+ years in Japan as an English teacher. My daughter is home from Germany where she lived for a year. She was learning German in hopes of earning her Masters Degree in Forensic Anthropology. In March, 2009 I became a widow, so I'm now looking at the next phase of life. I used to work in telecomm, but the family business called. I answered, worked there for 10 years, and in July, 2017 the Chifles family business was sold. So, I’m now retired, and in many ways busier than ever.
I'm traveling more. Took my first cruise on the Cunard Queen Mary2 with my mother in October, 2015. What a great trip! Liked it so ...Expand for more
much that I did it again in June, 2016. The Queen goes into Hamburg, which is a short train ride from where my daughter lived.. update: I just returned from 3 weeks in Europe. Took the QM2 again to Hamburg, went to London to see the Alexander McQueen exhibit at the V&A. Oh, what a treat! Loved every moment.
Being a parent has been the most frustrating, scary, but ultimately the most rewarding thing I've done. Watching my children become who they are is so exciting!
No grandchildren yet, but that's ok. When they come, they come. If they don’t, that’s ok too.
Am planning a cruise to Hawaii with my mother. She’s 96 and still going strong. She’s had some health issues this past year, but they’re the first in her whole life! I’m blessed to get good genes like that. In the end I guess it will be Keith Richards, me, and the Galapagos tortoises to fight the zombie apocalypse...
