Posted by | Nov 15, 2018 |

By Eileen Majors    I knew what we were in for when we visited the Lake Almanor home of Ryan and Josie Gibbs and their two boys, Carson and Reece; Their family business is Buffalo Chips Pizza in Westwood.        I knew we were in for a treat for I had experienced Josie’s holiday hospitality many times.
