They moved about to many dairy farms around Pa through there adult years until he bought the family farm, where he was born and raised. John was also a Pastor for Bair Church on 116 here in Hanover.

Message from the President of Columbia Cottage

Take DeepBreaths

The other day, I came across a note from

an unknown author that is worth sharing. It stated,” When your world seems like too much to handle, just take a deep breath and laugh. It clears the mind and frees your spirit.” It seems so simple, but when in the heat of the moment, certainly proves to be challenging. I can state first hand that stopping to take deep breaths refreshes you. It helps you recoup, think more clearly, and redirects your efforts. To improve your health, experts say that you should take deep breaths every day. Breathing deeply helps dispose carbon dioxide and prevents toxins from building up. Deep breaths also keep the lungs pure and increase the flow of clean blood, which benefits nerves, brain, spinal cord, and heart muscles. Wow, I can’t believe that I remembered all of that from my Physical Education days… So, with that all said, I encourage us all to live in the moment and enjoy all that the Good Lord has blessed us with.

Year Anniversary for Columbia Cottage Hanover

Easter is coming!

Cottage STHRDonna Powell

Hello, My name is Dana Powell. I am the Resident Wellness Director for the Hanover Cottage. I became a CNA in the early 90’s. I worked in facilities for a while then stated doing home care. In 2002 I decided I wanted to be able to do more so I talked to my husband about going to nursing school. He was very supportive. I have worked with the elderly and physically and mentally challenged. I have learned many interesting things.

My husband Mike and I have been married for 41 years. We have 4 children, 9 grandchild and 2 on the way. We also have a dog named Jackson. He loves to play ball and snuggle at night. My husband and I love taking trips. Our favorite place is Myrtle Beach SC. We look forward to our trip every year. I love working at Columbia Cottage and hope to be here for a long time.

St. Patrick’s Day Party

The residents here at the Cottage got started early by celebrating St Patrick’s Day with a toast at lunch.

We read some poems, shared some Limricks and had a toast to St Patrick.

The celebrations continued through out the afternoon with green snacks, and green drinks and lots of laughs.

The residents told stories of their past St Patty’s Days events and memories. We also shared Trivia of St Patty’s Day and it traditions.

Poems were read, songs were sung, and more memories were made here at the Cottage.
