I know she worked a lot of overtime to afford the wonderful trip she planned for her milestone birthday! 
I hope she's having a fabulous time. 

Linda knows I love to collect gnomes and in the box she sent were these two dudes:

Posting about Linda's gift here - and sending her a link - is a way to thank her for her thoughtfulness. I do love surprises!
