Over the weekend
The Group rented a
cabin in beautiful
Winthrop, WA. It really is a quant, fun little town, especially when it’s all covered in snow – have a look!
 |
Downtown Winthrop – yup that’s all of it! |
 |
Best advertising ever. Healing Ointment for man AND beast! |
While I was packing, I made a grave error – I forgot to bring along
Grandpa Max!!! Hey, don’t get mad at me! Sometimes he forgets to speak up when I’m packing, and he gets left behind – it’s really his own fault! Luckily for everyone, when we arrived at the (freezing) cabin we found a happy little mascot waiting for us!
Tinny the Tinman complete with a little red heart.
We had a fantastically great time with Tinny – he participated in all sorts of adventures! Including (but not limited to):
 |
Futon Relocation to optimize sleeping comfort |
 |
Reading about and plotting a way to get into the Guiness Book of World Records |
 |
Cuddling (as big spoon, of course) |
A troublemaker at heart, Tinny also let loose a little – one could say he got very liberal with his oil can.
 |
Wine Drinking |
 |
Beer Guzzling |
 |
Succumbing to peer pressure |
 |
Passing out on perilous ledges |
Let the lessons of Tinny the Tinman be learned by all: a weekend with The Group is not something to be taken lightly. You better bring your A-game, your dancing shoes, and your drinking pants. I think in this case Grandpa Max was more than happy to enjoy a quiet weekend alone in my apartment.
