Happy holidays!

I remember when this new family moved in across from me and out came Dave to do morning walk.He waved and went on his way. I though, wow! he did not stop by, but i am going to see how long this will go on for. Next morning, out came Dave to walk and he came over but did not do an introduction, but started with jokes.
