After visiting Hobbiton in New Zealand along with several sites where “The Hobbit” and “Lord of the Rings” trilogies were filmed…

Sir Ronald chose an obvious theme for this year’s Halloween costumes.

He proved to be a worthy wizard, including Gandalf’s magical staff.

I portrayed the elf Queen Arwen… obviously aging fast as I approached 2900 years old.

Great fun with friends, handing out treats to little goblins and princesses at the annual Tryon Walk.

A boooootiful time was enjoyed by all.
