Summary The Carlsons are looking forward to the 1960s, a decade they believe will be more fun. While Melanie, with Lauren by her side, is still stuck in the kitchen this decade, they at least have more modern conveniences to assist them with meals. Those conveniences may not however overcome the "weirdness" factor of some of the meals they are asked to prepare. Other conveniences make Melanie do some additional housework she had never even contemplated, rug shampooing at night to allow the rug to dry overnight. Melanie is also subjected to the overnight beauty routine of setting her hair, more important in winter because of the dry weather. Dave, for the first time, gets to play Canada's "national sport", but it may take some adjustment for him to get used to 1960s equipment. With women not yet playing the sport, Lauren, Alex and Chelsey try the women's equivalent which at the time was deemed less physical than hockey, thus suitable for the fairer sex. Alex and Chelsey also try one of the decade's most trendy crafts: rug hooking. By mid decade, Melanie is for the first time out of skirts and into pants, but at a price she may not be willing to pay. Both Dave and Melanie have different winter tasks related to the whole getting back to nature culture of the decade, with Melanie finally able to get outside for some leisure activity. By the end of the decade, the girls try to newest wintertime snacks, and, to match their new mod looks, go on their first dates - at least board game style. While they end off the decade with some old (Dave still outside shoveling snow, Melanie still the the kitchen cleaning up) and some new (eating dinner in front of the television), they cap it off outside with a good old fashioned 1960s backyard winter bonfire.
