Eeeexactly!! Queen has nowhere to go/hide where the rook can't find her! :)

Good job

Oh, Qg7 isn't possible because Rg5+ shielding the bishop giving the discovered check and your queen is lost. Actually, it looks like that queen is going to be lost wherever it moves.

now thinking maybe it's Rxf5 and then I am hitting the queen and also have a discovered check when I move the rook, so I think I can win the bishop on e5 next, at least.

. The bishop on e5 is mostly a spectator/last final thing to munch on once the dust has settled.

Right move, wrong reason. 

Think _bigger_. The bishop on e5 is mostly a spectator/last final thing to munch on once the dust has settled.
