Living here in the North Georgia Mountains is peaceful, but like most things in life the seclusion we enjoy comes with a few tradeoffs. One example is grocery shopping. Oh, we have grocery stores, but reaching one involves more than a quick trip down the block. In fact, we don't have blocks, just miles of twisting roads, which makes the closest grocery store a fifteen-minute drive—one-way. For this reason, and the price of fuel, we keep a well-stocked pantry.
