World News Update: King Charles to receive £99.9 million to annually fund the Royal Household...
Does £99.9 million, sound less formidable than saying £100 Million . King Charles will be given in core annual funding to carry out official duties and maintain royal palaces after he “significantly increased” his number of engagements, a Treasury minister said.

Talking Hearts
Author's Note: The photo is what the title, "Talking hearts" brought up on unsplash. First thing is we do not look like the couple above! Except my husband shaves his head too, and has some facial hair in the form of a mustache, and I see that look regularly, when he is looking at me. And finally, we are probably 40 plus years older than that couple. Seventy-two and seventy-six.

Each night till Halloween night he will leave a special treat for some little kid for this will be the notice for a Halloween ride that night. At the end of that ride, he will shake his mane, and all types of goodies will fall out for them.

The Halloween Horse
At the stroke of midnight on September 1, you will begin to hear whinnying and neighing sounds coming from the woods and through the air. You will know at that time to leave not hay and carrots, but bits of sweets. For you know that the Halloween horse is on his way. The Halloween horse is not like any other horse for he is covered in speckles and spangles and rainbows and is blind but knows where he's going without a fear of where he's going. He is looking for all the good girls and boys come Halloween night. Yay!

Social Security
I have been 62 years old for two months now and have received my first social security retirement check. Even with getting these checks I feel like I should still be doing something to supplement these checks. That is one reason I am trying to find other things like the new venture that I am starting. In case you do not read my short kind of drabble entitled 'A New Venture' it's all about me finding a site that allows me to color their images and sell them at a local farmer's market and here to view on Vocal.media.com.

A New Venture
I am starting a new coloring venture, and I am going to share this here for all my fellow creators here on Vocal.media.com. There is a coloring site known as coloringbookfun.com that has many images that range from children to adult coloring pages. I have permission to sell the images that I color at a farmer's market as well as post here on Vocal. I have saved and printed out the email that gives me permission to sell these images at the farmer's market and post here as well. I know here on Vocal you will not be able to buy them, but I am hoping for 'reads' that I will then call 'views' and maybe even comment on them. Just wondering would I put these 'colorings' in the ART community, the Writer's community for there will be a brief paragraph on how maybe these images could be used in other ways. Please share your comments.
