I'm married to Karl J. Duppstadt; we call him The Duppster or sometimes just Dupp (among other things.)

I'm mother to three who made it to adulthood despite me: Tiffany, Tree, Mandy. They are all terrific: just ask me.

So is my son-in-law, Adam, and so are the two teenage grandsons - Harrison & Fisher - who call me Puff (among other things.)  

I enjoy trivia, word games, playing the piano, reading, writing, traveling, playing charades and board games. 

Karl and I recently retired as owners of Antiques & Artisans Village LLC. in Summerville, SC, where we live. We enjoy auctions and spending time in the family cabin in the Smoky Mountains near Bryson City, NC.
