Houses provide security Houses more than place to come home to Where’s the one place that a person can always go and can even feel secure? For many, that place is home. The house can come in many different versions and all fit the same definition of home. To Devon Schumacher, who lives in a mobile home, “The house itself, the physical building, isn’t important—it’s the home, the family, the people who you share the house with. That’s what’s really meaningful. Home is a place of shelter and security.” The family unit itself can also mean security. Gretchen Zwetzig’s house is approximately one hundred years old. She loves her house simply because that is where her mom, dad, and sister are. Lisa Allison lives on an acreage in a farm house. To her, the openness and the beautiful surroundings are what make her house a home. Because Debbie Placek’s dad built their house, it’s customized to fit the needs of the family, so in a sense, it is actually a part of the family. For her, “It’s a place to relax and be myself.” The Placek family engages in one mighty interesting tradi- tion every year. Before each winter they drop a tennis ball down the chimney to make sure there are no animals stuck in the fireplace before their first fire. At Brian Crogg’s house there are no household traditions that compare to that, although the house itself is quite unique. Brian lives in the only old under- ground house in his area. To him “It’s just a basement with a roof on top, but also a place to retreat to solid ground when times are rough.” Every house is different, yet for most it serves basically the same purpose, a place one can always go to. Creating the mood of warmth and comfort, the back of Gretchen Zwetzigs’ house offers shelter, shade and plenty of firewood. Her dog Katie keeps an eye on things which completes the feeling of security. Goat trophies glimmer through the front window of Lisa Allison’s house. Their land covers approximately four acres.

Not to be mistaken for a trailer home, Devon’s mobile home is his domain. Since it is so far from the inner town area, most of Devon’s time is spent either at home or at school. 8—Houses
