Lists and checking boxes: all the posts 6/10 - 6/17/18

I'm a list maker. Part of the fun of doing something is listing all the steps involved, then checking each item off as I complete it. As Dean and I wrap up our time in Fresno and prepare to move to Seattle, this week's list might have looked like this:


☑visit the Armenian church we intended to visit when we found ourselves at the other Protestant Armenian church in the neighborhood. 

☑post the movie church that we wish didn't happen

☑finally go to the hotel bar Dean's been wanting to visit since September (waterfall)

☑complete everything and publish Cheers and Amen

☐organize top 14 stories that didn't make it into the book for next two week's posts

☐prepare for virtual book launch party on July 4 

☐figure out details for moving to Seattle area

I guess I should get to back to work. In the meantime, you can read these posts!

The church we meant to visit sooner

Nuns we hope to never meet

We finally got to sit at this bar

As we get ready for our virtual book launch, I'll be posting some of the stories that didn't make it into Cheers and Amen and giving you a sneak preview of the party as details are finalized. We might even have a giveaway or two! I need to add a few more items to my lists, I guess.
