Won't you be my neighbor?

During FFN Dinner our next door neighbors were outside sitting on their front door step. Chris leans into to me + says, " should we go over there + say hello?". I come up with some lame-o excuse that I had some gross clotheS on + didn't want to go over. So we don't go. But then after wrapping up FFN dinner I took the garage out + happen to see my neighbor across the street and she smiled + said hello. I responded with the same gesture. It was a break through in getting to "know" our neighbors.

Would you say its our responsibility as the new neighbors to say hello to our neighbors (ie... Go around with the traditional cookie + introduce ourselves) or do we wait for our neighbors to come to us ?
