Boy, I cannot believe we are in the dog days of summer! I am really looking forward to a little bit of relief from this heat!

2018 started off with a bang! A sweet little filly actually! Tessa was born on January 13th and it's been quite an adventure watching her grow! Check out my instagram @antoniajonesactress for many photos documenting my adventures our beautiful rescue mare Reina and her "surprise" little offspring

I was also lucky enough to book not one, but two national commercial spots on a pretty huge advertising campaign for AT&T! See if you can find me out there playing a pediatric cardiologist! (a background of many years working in the medical field helped prepare me for that one!)

The summer was filled with wonderful family time and the much coveted visit with my inspiring step-daughter Ava. She is a little thespian in training whose passion for musical theatre and anime added quite a bit of refreshing flair to an otherwise quiet time of the year!

So here we are in the grueling heat of the summer. . Fires are burning in California and luckily for us, the air quality is still good here. However, our hearts are with the residents in the burn areas and our deepest gratitude is with the firefighters on the front lines...really hoping that the end of this heat wave brings some much needed relief.

I'm off now to ride Reina before the heat of the day sets in and then later I'll be writing writing writing because I'm inspired and, well.....there is so much to tell! :-) !

Happy Summer!
