Strawberry Rhubarb Pie

I always have been interested in using rhubarb, but was not sure how to use it.  One time a friend brought me a pie from Julian, CA and instead of a traditional apple pie, she brought a strawberry rhubarb pie – I loved it! I decided to try and make one at home, since Julian is so far from my home.  This recipe is simple and delicious.
