Snapshots from Home

UD‘s Aunt Delores, who died recently, lived in a strange house. It was enormous. It stood on a hill overlooking a big highway in Pikesville, Maryland, near Baltimore. She had sheep. She had a shepherd.

It’s been years since UD was there, but she remembers the complicated, rambling interior and exterior of the place pretty well…

Or does she? UD will have a chance to do a little memory experiment this weekend, when she and various other ‘thesdan family members will drive to the house and have a look around.

She can certainly expect lots of changes. It’s this year’s Baltimore Symphony Associates’ Directors’ Show House. It’s been “re-imagined by 20 interior designers and 4 landscape designers.” Ten thousand people are expected to visit.

UD will chronicle her visit here, at University Diaries.

    You don’t mean GERMAN Shepherd–you mean an actual human? Maybe it was this guy?

    Alyssa’s grandmother’s house went through the same transformation a few years ago here in York. I am constantly amazed at the kinds of things these designers do with a single room. Often times they are gaudy but every now and then I get to a room that makes me pine for a benefactor.

    I never met him. All I know is that my Aunt Ronnie always referred to “Bill, the shepherd,” who lived in a cottage near the house.
