Here are 5 fascinating facts about the Mona Lisa that will leave you wanting to know more, or even see it for yourself.

  • The Mona Lisa painting is only 30 inches tall. When visitors travel afar to see the Mona Lisa, quite often they are expecting a largely epic painting but the painting is only 30 x 20 Inches (77 x 53 centimeters).
  • Did you know that “Mona Lisa” is not her real name? It is thought that the lady displayed in the painting was Lisa Gherardini, the wife of a wealthy Italian man named Francesco del Giocondo.
  • The Mona Lisa has only been stolen once. On August 21, 1911, the Mona Lisa was stolen from its permanent resting place in Le Louvre, Paris, France.
  • Mona Lisa has her own mailing box. Although she is no longer alive and hasn’t been for many years, she still receives love-notes, poems and flowers.
  • Mona Lisa stole the hearts of many men, even after her death! Source: The Fact Site

Memorial Day

Nothing is sacred at our home. Zane is trying to put breakfast together and Lil’ Bit decided it was a good place to sit. She’s probably saying, “Did you put this paper plate out for me?”

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for mourning the U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the United States Armed Forces.
