Every anniversary is a special occasion deserving of celebration. The number of years people are married also has a corresponding gift. For instance, 25 years of marriage is usually associated with silver, and 50 years is affiliated with gold. Rather than take the traditional route with golden jewelry, however, a farmer in Kansas found a unique way to make his anniversary one to remember.

Almost as far as the eye can see, there are tall, vibrant sunflowers brightening the landscape. There are...

The Beverly Hills, CA, mansion formerly owned by Kiss frontman Gene Simmons is back on the market, and it’s completely unrecognizable from its glam-metal days. Fans of the rock legend may recall that the one-of-a-kind abode was the setting for the singer’s reality TV show, “Gene Simmons Family Jewels,” which ran on the A&E network from 2006 until 2012.
