Beat Eggs and then stir in both sugars, flour, lemon juice, salt and vanilla. Mix in Rhubarb.

Pour into pie shell.

Roll out remaining pastry and cut into strips. Weave pastry strips over top to create a lattice effect. Brush with milk and sprinkle with one to two tablespoons of sugar.

Option: cut out leaves either by hand or with a leaf cookie cutter, place over filling. Brush with the milk and sprinkle with sugar.
