I’m back! HAPPY NEW YEAR! Sorry for the radio silence since before Christmas. As you may know, Brad and I took a cruise to Central America just before the holidays, returning just in time to welcome our entire family to Lake Arrowhead for a giant, week-long house party. However, I got the stomach flu on […]
Hello and welcome to SUNDAYS WITH CELIA VOL 22. Thanks very much for joining me. It was a fun filled week for me. We spent a couple of days in our old stomping grounds, The OC, staying at the lovely Laguna Cliffs Resort & Spa. Being there reminded us how nice it is to be […]
MY LIFE AT THE LAKE Today, on election day, as this crazy period in American politics comes to a close, I thought I’d take you away, away to a place where life is slower, where Washington politics is 3,000 miles away, and where you might just escape a bit from the craziness of it all, […]

It was the signal that meant my days would be spent across the street with my best friend Donna, who had the neighborhood swimming pool where we […]

And just like my life After Orange […]
Hello there. Back in January I wrote a blog post entitled “A Beautiful Winter Wonderland” in which I stated that El Niño had kept his promise and brought snow to Lake Arrowhead. Well, as it turns out, we have had a somewhat disappointing winter here in SoCal as we haven’t gotten any more significant snow […]
Greeting from Lake Arrowhead, which is a beautiful winter wonderland at the moment. El Niño has kept his promise and plummeted us with several feet of snow. Come see!
Ahoy Matie! As summer activities on Lake Arrowhead begin to wind down for the season it is a tradition at the Lake Arrowhead Yacht Club for the current Commodore to perform a “Reviewing of the Fleet” exercise. With tongue in cheek, lots of laughs and tons of silliness, the members ambitiously decorate their motor craft in […]
After Orange County is a publication dedicated to living life in the slow lane. I escaped The OC for life at a higher elevation. Leaving suburbia behind, I now live in the beautiful mountain resort of Lake Arrowhead. Join me at 5,000 feet above and beyond as I cook, garden, renovate, entertain, travel and live life After Orange County.
