Ahh, I see! That is kind of odd. Either it was their first year, and they just had a whole lot of time on their hands, or it WASN'T their first year, and they just suddenly decided to write down everything they'd canned in a little notebook for safe keeping. But... why?
I guess that's a question very firmly entrenched in the modern age: Why would you write that down, if you couldn't post it to the internet? My mom had a little notebook recording every Christmas ornament she'd ever bought or received, and which Christmas she'd received it, with notes going back to her first Christmas with my father. But, I mean, that was stuff she dragged out year after year and could get sentimental about. I just can't see saying, "Oh, Bernice, remember the fifty-seventh quart of greenbeans in 1966?"
Maybe they'd canned in small batches before but then they moved to a place with a gigantic cellar in 1966.
