Sour Cream Lemon Pie

I do not remember exactly where I got this recipe, maybe from a magazine at the doctor's office or something like that. But let me tell you, this is a simply divine pie! I would suggest it for a spring or summer dessert, but I made it one year at Thanksgiving and it was gone in a flash! I have tried it with lime, but lemon is still my fave!
