Lemon Blueberry Cream Pie!

How about we talk about my new favorite summertime pie?  I have featured this in the newspaper column, on the Cooking with Crevolyn blog and now here.  Suffice it to say, I am crazy about this pie.  Honestly, a no-bake pie in the hot of the summer is the best thing ever.    You're gonna love it, I promise.   Feel free to thank me later.
