Purple Potty

I found it. I found the "other" Mountain Home. Mountain Home, Idaho. In reading through their community newspaper, I was intrigued by the quaintness of the community. One particular story caught my eye:

"Purple Potty may appear on your lawn"

It goes on to say, "A purple toilet is being place in front yards of homes or businesses as a fundraiser for the 2009 Relay For Life."

According to the purple potty people:
A $10 donation will have it removed; $20 will have it sent to the destination of your choice; and $30 will get you a 'Purple Potty Protection Plan"
And if your really into the purple potty theme for your home ~ A $1,000 donation and it's yours.

Relay for Life is a very successful fundraiser for the American Cancer Society. What a fun way to bring awareness to such a great cause.

I know this isn't earth shattering news; but this little town has the right idea. Everybody helping to make life a little better for someone else. Maybe the folks in our Nation's Capital should pass around the Purple Potty. It would make raising money for all these government programs more fun than just raising taxes.

Have a good night, and may the Lord bless you.
