cutting expenses

Today I told Ann to stop the following services in order to save money.  We have lost the Mexican restaurant at Cotton Plant and will lose Swaffer insurance and K & F Wireless in a month or so.  So I am cutting back.

Mirror Lawn - sweeping service at CP every sunday night - $200 per month
Herbi systems - weed spraying at CP - $100 per month
Green Meadow - fertilize and weed kill at Shamrock - $200 per month
2011-04-04 Also stopping Grisanti's landscaping at Shamrock.  He was cutting grass and maintaining flower beds. -- $480 per month.

Total savings is $980 per month.

GTNC - sold intermediate bonds and total bond fund

Today I sold:

approx $54,541 Total bond fund
approx $24,339.98 Intermediate term investment grade fund

bought:

VFSUX - short term investment grade bond fund

Total bond fund has too much US treasury stuff in it and wanted shorter duration than intermediate fund.
