Find out how to give your High-Five Fridays here!
The purpose of this meme is to give high-fives to 5 people, posts, blogs and/or websites you’ve admired during the week. I will link to everyone who participates and leaves a link to their 5 high-fives on Friday. Trackbacks, pings, linky widgets, comment links accepted!
Visiting fellow High-Fivers is encouraged! If you participate, leave the link to your High-Fives in others comments (please note if NWS).
Other than the last two links posted in #5, I’ve never been to any of these sites — you have provided me with many a new haunt! (Not to mention your own blog; you have some fantastic things here.)PS I’m a NWS blog 😉

Been visiting here awhile now — both SPS and my hubby have been emailing me links, but I’m often too tired (lazy) to post. Today, however, being a High-Five Friday, I now christen your blog. ;)(By the way, hubby is, among other things, the blogger at Double-Breasted Dust Jacket. He’ll appreciate the cool fact you bring him — lord knows, I take it away lol)

That Ernie Pyle photo is amazing. And the ages of the men interviewed – the WWII vets are vanishing quietly.
