It's a Stampendous stamp called Turtle Fun. I bought it last summer (?) when I was on a mission to add to my practically nonexistent collection of nautical or beach-themed stamps. I wasn't sure I'd use either of the two sentiments with it, but as it turns out I needed a retirement card and the sentiment expresses a favorite aspect of retirement. Plus, she likes cute cards, so all the better.
I'm off to see what kind of trouble I can get into. You take care and have a very happy day!
