Another beautiful day and we wont be alone. Ray Stark is doing a documentary on Nancy (I’m a supporting player). They are up here to get our ranch routine—pictures of us starting our ride etc. Nancy turned back after we got off camera. She was booked for more photography. We (the rest of us) went for a ride. Nancy was still being filmed when we got back. After lunch back up to our pruning. Then back to the house—cleaned up, dinner & a quiet evening.
