One of my October sweets had nothing to do with Halloween and everything to do with family. Howard had a milestone birthday, 50 and I was lucky enough to celebrate this NIFTY event with Howard and his family. Grandpa and Grandma opened their temporary but very NIFTY suite to very NIFTY company, Jordan and Liz, Mallory and Dave, Stephen, Lisa, Howard, Noah and myself and later Madeline and Andrew. It was the University of Utah "Blackout" game but when I saw Howard, he was glowing. How NIFTY of the University of Utah to secure a win on his number 50. Hard to believe...Howard is 50!!!! Lisa had family members send things we love about Howard and placed them in a plastic bubble for him to open. One by one, we heard how everyone felt about Howie. I thought it was an absolutely NIFTY idea. Grandma did the next NIFTY thing and that was cake from Baakers. JOY was a taste of chocolate with raspberry filling and white cake with pineapple frosting. It was more than NIFTY, it was downright NUMMY. But NIFTIEST of all was my brother Howard. He is all a sister could hope for in a big brother and being there tonight was pure JOY.
