I used to live in a little duplex here a few years ago. Down the street from that duplex lives an older gentleman who's out in his yard a lot and likes to wave as people drive by. I used to wave back every time I drove down the road and would always get a smile from him. I saw him once at a grocery store and almost said hello, but I thought that might be weird.
My parents live a few blocks away from where I used to, and that gentleman's house is along the route to their place too. It's been a reflex to glance at his yard each time I approach it, and for the first time since I've been back I saw him out there today. I was very happy to get to smile and wave to him again. It's been a couple of years, but I think he remembered me. He pointed at me and had a look of "Hey! I recognize you and your car!" Then he smiled and waved back.
