Lee and Renee Wilson have been together since high school, ever since their first date at a roller skating party.

 

This Kansas farmer secretly planted 80 acres of sunflowers, his wife's favorite flower, to surprise her for their 50th wedding anniversary

 

The thought and implementation of this gesture is 

truly priceless. Happy 50th Anniversary.

 

Heat Wave

Death Valley

 

One of the longest heat streaks in US history finally ended Monday when Phoenix's high temperature peaked under 110 degrees for the first time in a month. "It's been a year of abnormalities and streaks, so it's just a testament to just how strange this year has been," said Ryan Worley, meteorologist for the National Weather Service office in Phoenix. But the heat is far from over for Phoenix and millions of others across the central US that are still baking in triple-digit temperatures. Heat alerts are in effect for more than 50 million people from the Southern Plains to the Lower Mississippi River Valley. Forecasts show North Texas could get as high as 111 degrees today while New Orleans and Baton Rouge, Louisiana, could see up to 115 degrees.
