♪ ♫ ♪ He's My Brother ♪ ♫ ♪

Royal Wade Kimes

of course to me he is just Wade my brother.

He & I are 1yr apart in age.

 Then came 3 more sisters.

So He was kind of out numbered from then on.

We were real close growing up in our small town & went to a small school.

We rode horses, made it to all the School Dances & where we would do the Jitter Bug together.

We made it to all the Ball Games & afterwards we would all go to the nearest hangout until we had to be home by midnight. 

We would go Fishing, Hunting, Swimming & We would stay outside all day just having so much fun!

Those were the Days!

He was the Cowboy then & He still is now.

Only now this Cowboy Sings & Writes most all of his Songs.

So I thought you might like to here one of his songs & then the one that He just released that was by another artist from way back when.

Put several Scoops of the Vanilla Ice Cream in your glass.

Then decide which flavor you want your smoothie to be.

 &

then let them thaw slightly.

Add the Slushy Flavor Aid to the Glass of  Vanilla Ice Cream

Keep Repeating Layers 

Ice Cream & Flavor Aid

Stir it up real good so there are no frozen lumps of flavor aid.
