Ocean County has a star

When Megan Stoltenberg was about five years old. Maybe even younger. You expect me to remember? I would give her mathematical word problems. They all started the same. If you had x number of oranges, got so many more from your Mom, gave half to your brother,etc. etc. When I got to the" how many would you have left"?She gave me the answer before I got the question out. I gave her problems when others were present, so No one would doubt me. She amazed all.
Some time back she participated in a school math test. 16 Ocean County schools sent the five best math students to take the test. Out of the 80 boys and girls, Megan scored the highest. Thats right she was number one. Her score was so high she elevated her school to the number two spot. I'ts called the Goetz math team. She will be given an award on June 3 rd.in Stafford.We are all wondering where she gets her math ability. Hey I multiplied 16 by 5 and got 80. She deserves all of our applause. We love her and are proud of our Ocean County Star

lost and found

Saturday was one of my favorite type days. Arthur asked me to go to Neptune NJ. He wanted to buy a patio set from a moving sale. He needed my truck. He picked me up at 9:ooAM. He got right behind the drivers seat of the Silverado .He loves to drive my Chevy. Punched in the address to my GPS. First stop, Starbucks for coffee. Found the house moving sale easy. Young couple moving to Florida. Selling the contents. All must go. Art and the seller (John) dickered about price.I saw a snow blower in the garage.Asked John "How much"? He said 250 dollars. Not bad ,600 dollar machine used once. Art and John cut a deal. We loaded up. I told John I was interested in the blower. He said I could have it for 300. Funny, when I wasn't interested it was 250. We left for Arts house. First stop Starbucks. Unloaded at Arts place. Went to a cafe where they advertised free wifi. Art was going to teach me how to get on line with my lap top. The owner was a foreigner. There was no wifi. Art and the foreigner argued. We left for Panieras. They have free wifi. It actually worked. The owner was not foreign. Art and him did not argue. I learned how to get on line from wifi. I think. We went to Starbucks. Then Art took me home. It was 4:00 PM. I always get a phone call at 4:00 PM. I reached for my cell phone. It was not on my belt. The holster wasn't even there. Panic! I told Cathy "my Phone is gone" Looked everywhere. Called my cell. Nothing. Decided to call Art. Whats his number? It's in my cell. Drove to his house. Looked all over. Called the cell again. Called John in Neptune. No phone, he said I could have the blower for 35o. Called the foreigner he did'nt answer. More panic. Called Carl, told him to cancel my account before the finder called Hong Kong.Carl was cool. He said, "you'll find it". One more try to call my number, it answers. It was Starbucks. Some one found the cell and turned it in. We`drove right there. It was like I found a lost child. I told you one of my favorite type days.
