So at least once a year we make homemade perogies. I actually learned from my fiance, his family always made them, so for 6+ years now him and I make them for our family.
So we got organized and made the mashed potatoes and filling and dough while the baby was napping and when she awoke, I took her over to her Nanny's house to play for the afternoon. That way we could have an assembly line going without a toddler underfoot.
This time I rolled the dough while he filled them up over the mold. Usually its the other way around, but we like to spice it up a bit. HAHAHA Why do I laugh at my own jokes, gosh I'm a dork!
So we had the tunes cranked as usual and all of a sudden this old song by Anne Murray comes on called "Danny's song" and my fiance starts singing it to me...he says...hey this is our song. And then I started to cry. Crying and rolling perogy dough and smiling all at the same time. It's like I fell in love with him all over again. Something so sweet and spur of the moment just took my breath away. The words to the song are sad but true for us. And probably for many people. I had heard this song a zillion times, but I never really listened to the lyrics until he sang them to me. And he was right. The song is us. (except the pregnant part, lol) And I am still smiling.
Here are the lyrics for anyone who wants to know.
I recommend hearing it over reading it.
"Danny's Song"
People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one
And we've just begun, I think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like you and me, as free as a dove
Conceived in love, the sun is gonna shine above
Chorus
And even though we ain't got money
I'm so in love with ya honey
Everything bring a chain of love
And in the mornin' when I rise
Bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything's gonna be all right
Love a guy who holds the world in a paper cup
Drink it up, love him and he'll bring you luck
And if ya find he helps your mind
better take him ho-ome
Yeah 'n' don'tcha live alone
try to earn what lovers own
Chorus
