My hubby and I had to make a quick run to the Fry’s grocery in Oro Valley to get some tamale supplies, and as we were leaving we heard the bell ringer out front along with another sound, the sound of brass instruments warming up.

I told hubby to go ahead and take the bags to the car while I investigated.

I took this pic of our bell ringer who, despite the mask, was joyful and full of cheer as she greeted me.

Across from her sat this group of fine gentlemen musicians warming up and preparing to bring cheer to the harried shoppers.

They are a group called Dulce and this is what their name means:

As hubby and I got into our vehicle we heard the cheery sound of four brass instruments filling the air with “Joy To the World.”

Cheers!
