It is with the utmost regret and sorrow that I must be it seems the first to  let the Inn know that Sir Ian Holm, Bilbo Baggins from the Lord Of The Ring films died Friday morning at age 88. May he live forever in our hearts and minds as he who found the one ring that which he called his precious.

Three Rings for the Elven Kings under the sky
Seven for the Dwarf-Lords in their halls of stone
Nine for Mortal Men doomed to die
One for the Dark Lord on his Dark Throne
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

One Ring to rule them all
One Ring to find them
One Ring to bring them all
and in the darkness bind them
In the Land of Mordor where the shadows lie.

Rest In Peace Sir Ian......

He lives on in this life in our hearts & in his films!

I saw that . . . sadness. 

He didn't even quite make it to his hundred and eleventieth birthday.  But it was a good amount of time for such an honorable hobbit to be amongst us. 

“It's a dangerous business, Frodo, going out your door. You step onto the road, and if you don't keep your feet, there's no knowing where you might be swept off to.”

He has now been swept off to another adventure.
